Setup

Set the DNS Server1's (NUT) address as above mentioned Network Topology.

Configure the Server1's (NUT) zone file to response query from TN.

Example of example.com zone file:

@ IN SOA NS1.example.com. root.example.com. (
	2005081600	; serial
	3600		; refresh every 1 hr
	900		; retry every 15 min
	604800		; expire after a week
	3600		; Minimum TTL of a 1 hr
)
;
	IN	NS	NS1.example.com.
