So.. I have a hard coded IP address of a system, whos DNS is not pointing to any valid address (172.16.16.1.. which is also set as the GW address of the device).<br />
<br />
Can (and if so.. how)... translate that via policy on the Sonicwall (tz215) to take that DSN 172.16.16.1 and translate it to something valid.. ala 8.8.8.8 ?<br />
<br />
Thank you

DNS NAT or Translate on a Sonicwall Unit

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
