<context id="GUID-72ED7B81-4477-449D-B9DF-FC47D908B81E"><p>The DNS Proxy server starts up and shuts down with the DHCP server.

If an IAP is configured to start the DHCP server, it starts the DHCP server

which in turn starts the DNS Proxy server. </p><p><note> The DHCP server and

DNS Proxy server cannot be started on multiple interfaces and there is no

independent configuration for the DNS Proxy server in the CommsDB file.</note> </p><p>The

high level steps to start the DNS Proxy server are shown here: </p> </context>

<info>DHCP server starts the DNS Proxy server on DHCP server startup. </info>

<info>DHCP server starts when the interface configured to start DHCP server

in CommsDB is started by some application. </info>

</step>

<step id="GUID-25B1C614-AADF-5204-9053-C71A35BE4A74"><cmd/>

<info>DNS Proxy server on start up reads the initialization information from<filepath> resolver.ini</filepath> file. </info>

<info> Note: The DNS Proxy server initialization settings are stored in the <filepath>resolver.ini</filepath> file. </info>

<step id="GUID-716C280F-DB08-5E1B-887D-3BEC8F2B1E48"><cmd/>

<info>DNS Proxy server gets the connection information from the DHCP server

on startup. </info>

<info> Note: The <filepath>resolver.ini</filepath> file provides the downlink

connection information on which the DNS Proxy server starts receiving DNS

requests. </info>

</step>

<step id="GUID-4811BFD0-2EEA-5D83-A83E-1CAB4B220D36"><cmd/>

<info>DNS Proxy server opens an explicit socket on the connection and starts

receiving DNS requests from the standard DNS port 53. </info>

<info>DHCP server reads and obtains the hostname and suffix information from

CommsDB and updates the DNS Proxy server with the required information. </info>

<step id="GUID-A895F232-DCE4-5AB7-8E45-1407D4F382FE"><cmd/>

<info>DHCP server updates the DNS Proxy server database for each incoming

host. </info>
