Use the Local Record window to create and work with local DNS resource records. Local resource records are associated with a particular address context and DNS group and are used to locally resolve an FQDN rather than querying an external server.

To View Local Records

On the SBC main screen, go to Configuration > System Provisioning > Category: Base Provisioning > DNS > Servers > DNS > DNS Group > Local Record or
All > Address Context > DNS Group > Local Record

The Local Record window opens showing all configured local records. Use the Address Context and DNS Group drop-down lists to filter the list.
