Synchronizing a Primary and Secondary DNS Proxy

Once DNS Proxy is installed and configured on-premise and also deployed and configured in Azure, follow the steps below to synchronize them both.

  1. Log into the primary DNS Proxy, which is usually your on-premise DNS Proxy.

  2. Go to Configuration > Synchronization and ensure the DNS Proxy Instance Type is set to Primary.

  3. Log into the secondary DNS Proxy, which is usually your Azure based DNS Proxy.

  4. Go to Configuration > Synchronization and select Set Secondary.
