Proxy Server Initialization Settings </title><shortdesc>This topics describes the initialization settings of the DNS Proxy
server. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>DNS Proxy server on start up reads the initialization information from <filepath>resolver.ini</filepath> file
which stores the initialization settings. This provides the connection information
on which the DNS Proxy server starts receiving DNS requests. </p>
<p>The <filepath>resolver.ini</filepath> file is located in the following
folder: <filepath>z:\private\200215f1\</filepath>. If there is no file or
if some values are missing then the DNS proxy starts with the default values. </p>
