Domain Name System (DNS) client configuration is as important to the proper functioning of your DNS infrastructure as DNS server configuration. Considerations for configuring DNS clients include client-naming conventions (including host name and primary DNS suffix); specifying the DNS servers for a client or allowing Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign DNS servers; and configuring a suffix search list for resolving short, unqualified host names. You can also configure connection-specific DNS settings for computers with multiple network adapters or Remote Access Service (RAS) connections.
