DnsWeb Service Settings

Back: CSharp Reference Implementation

The Dns Record Retrieval Service is a WCF middle tier service. The Direct Dns Server calls it to retrieve Dns records.

Config File

All configuration is stored in Web.config. 
 

• The web.config checked into the source tree (csharp\dnsresponder.service\web.config) contains sample configuration.
• When you deploy, you should replace this web.config with one of your own.
• Because the Dns Web Service runs as a WCF service hosted in IIS, The configuration file must be named Web.config
