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.

Have you called Sonicwall and asked them? – Brent Pabst Nov 27 '12 at 22:00

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. – iZ. Nov 27 '12 at 22:04

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. – Brent Pabst Nov 27 '12 at 22:09

You bought paid support... right?! :) Either way why do you want to run DNS there instead of from your ISP or another local internal box. – Brent Pabst Nov 27 '12 at 22:15

1I 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. – iZ. Nov 27 '12 at 22:45

You don't need a "whole DNS box." You just need a DNS service running on, e.g., your dev server. – Skyhawk Nov 27 '12 at 23:01

That's what I've ended up doing for now. I'd rather just have that service on the Sonicwall though. – iZ. Nov 27 '12 at 23:22

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
