Built-in DNS server for Sonic wall?

Question

I've got a Sonicwall TZ 215 that is currently being used as a firewall and DHCP server. Is there any built-in DNS server on this device I can use to map internal site names to IP addresses? I had this when I used DD-WRT in the form of DNSMasq.

Solution

No, there is not. It comes with DDNS, but not a proper DNS server.

Dynamic DNS providers include: dyndns.org, yi.org, no-ip.com and changeip.com

(Ick.)

Have you called Sonicwall and asked them?

I've spent a considerable amount of time searching for the answer online. I figured asking here would be quicker than dealing with phone support and allow others to see the answer as well.

I'm telling you that most of the folks here don't deal in Sonicwall products that small. There may be one or two, but either way this is a question for the vendor and would probably take less time than you think to clarify.

I have a few internal .local domains that I'd like to point to a dev server, it doesn't seem worthwhile to run a whole DNS box to handle that. Not sure if the firewall came with support. I'll definitely find out though.

You don't need a "whole DNS box." You just need a DNS service running on, e.g., your dev server.

That's what I've ended up doing for now. I'd rather just have that service on the Sonicwall though.
