Question about DNS Views

[#1]

Hello all,

Appologize for the basicness of this question, but I've just inherited an Infoblox deployment that appears to not be working 100%

In the admin guide, it states that if a DNS query matches a client match list, then it will match that view.  What happens if the client match is set to none?

In my situation I have

View 1 - match none
View 2 - match none
View 3 - match none
View 3 - Match 172.25.0.0/24
Default View - Match none

The order is manually set on some of the members, so I can see which view is checked first, but my question is: does match none mean the same as match any ip?  If so, am I correct to think that the first view would be the view used, or does it fall through to the next view?

Thanks!

hello Ed, 

you are correct - match none will allow any client so first view will be used (assuming it is not View3 of course)

Hope this helps

Hi Ed,

Wanted to check in and see if you were able to resolve your issue?  Let me know as I'm happy to reach out to the internal team.

For just a  bit of clarity, DNS Views will Match from Top to bottom in your list, and within a given view read left to right.

This becomes important if you plan to include a given network, but not individual addresses within a network.

In that case, deny the individual addresses first, then allow the networks.
