Smart DNS™

FatPipe® Networks is well known for its patentd technology that provides redundancy, high reliability, and aggregate speed of WAN connections. Its core innovation for intelligent inbound load balancing and line failover is called SmartDNS. SmartDNS balances incoming IP traffic load and provides redundancy by allowing the host on the LAN to be accessible through multiple connections. SmartDNS supports the hosting of internal servers including web, e-mail, firewall and load balancing servers.

SmartDNS provides intelligent load balancing capabilities, redundancy and speed for IP traffic effectively without the need for BGP programming or any specialized knowledge of routing protocol or languages. SmartDNS does all the work for you, so you can get back to your other duties, and still be confident that your WAN will stay up and running despite intermittent failures in your network.

Features

  • Multi-Provider IP Addressing with Interface Mapping: SmartDNS allows hosts on a network to have multiple IP addresses associated with them from different providers and will hand out the IP addresses for these hosts using the interface-to-network mappings.
  • Load Balancing: SmartDNS balances load by allowing the host on the network to be accessible through multiple connections. The host appears to be a different IP address at different times, thus using all available lines. The IP addresses are resolved based on the selected load-balancing algorithm.
  • Redundancy: Smart DNS ensures business continuity in case of primary link failure by diverting inbound load balanced traffic to secondary and tertiary lines and the traffic gets restored to all 3 lines in case primary link is up.

Benefits

  • Intelligent Usage of Line Status: SmartDNS uses the Line Status, determined by the Route Test function, to check when a WAN interface loses connectivity. If the Line Status is marked "Down" for that interface, SmartDNS will change the advertised paths to compensate for the WAN interface that is unavailable, advertising the pathways for whose interface is "Up" only.
  • Speed: Through load balancing, FatPipe's SmartDNS speeds up the delivery of inbound traffic.
  • Failover: FatPipe's SmartDNS will intelligently sense when a failure occurs and will make adjustments to the DNS replies so it will not resolve host names to the IP addresses that are associated with the connection that is down or unavailable.
