DNS Setting Priority
The Conductor has a global DNS setting that applies to all Airwall Agents and Servers on your Airwall secure network. You can override the global setting on individual Airwall Agents and Servers, or on an Overlay to apply the DNS setting to all Airwall Agents and Servers that support it on the Overlay.
Here’s how the priority is set on DNS settings:
DNS Setting Priority | Result |
---|---|
1 – Airwall Agents and Servers |
|
2 – Overlay |

3 – Conductor Global |

The DNS SRV record covered in Connect an Airwall Gateway with a DNS SRV record is only used for specifying a Conductor URL when deploying Airwall Gateways, and is not related to the DNS Server specified in Conductor settings.
