Thank you.<br />

So for a web server to be used on that configuration, you would want the 'dns' set in that command.<br />
<br />
Any reason to not do it?

I run split dns, so i don't really need this. &nbsp; &nbsp;My internal dns handles internal resolution. &nbsp; My external dns for people outside, would give them the correct public IP.

Hello all...<br />
<br />
I am fairly new to ASA configurations... but I had a question.<br />
<br />
In a config setup of:<br />
<br />
hostname(config)# object network my-host-obj1<br />
hostname(config-network-ob<wbr />ject)# host 1.1.1.1<br />
hostname(config-network-ob<wbr />ject)# nat (inside,outside) static 2.2.2.2 dns<br />
<br />
What exactly does the 'dns' do on line 3 exactly? &nbsp;If I just want to setup a static route, it works without it, but what does it do, and do you want it or not?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Hello all...

What exactly does the 'dns' do on line 3 exactly?  If I just want to setup a static route, it works without it, but what does it do, and do you want it or not?

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
