ROMAN TOMASEK · ‎03-19-2007

Can I get information about the client's DNS request and which Data Center was choosed for this request? How long these informations are stored in GSS? Can I change this settings?

Thank you.

First of all Client never hit GSS. GSS recieves dns requests from Client's DNS servers.

GSS(config)#logging disk subsystem dnsserver pri debug

GSS#type gss.log | grep DNS-7

Mar 24 08:49:37 sj-gss-2 DNS-7-SELREQNAME[966] Request from 10.21.82.172:30219 for www.abc.com, type is T_A, id is 3

The gss.log file typically rotates when it reaches 10M.
