Adding DNS Forwarders

Trying to add a DNS Forwarder to a NSG100. Instructions say for all domains type a * and then add your DNS server address (e.g. 8.8.8.8). As soon as the * goes into the domain box it turns red and you cannot save. Do others see the same?

Hi @Ian_Ross_7BS,
Welcome to Zyxel Community!
Thanks for reporting this problem, there is some documentation error.
DNS zone forwarder doesn't support [*], you'll need to input the complete domain name.
(e.g. aaa-bbb.com)
Regarding the document, we will have it correctly modify.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Perhaps you could help my understanding here. If I can't use the * (all domains) identifier then I will need to add an entry for every single domain I may ever need to look up. This is not practical! USG's default to allowing the ISPs DNS servers that they pick up either automatically or by manual entry and allowing a look up of any domain to that DNS server. If there is another way of achieving this then I need to understand.0

Hi @Ian_Ross_7BS,
Domain zone forwarder is to input the specific domain name.
For your scenario, you should use the interface settings to achieve the goal.
Steps as below:
1. Go to Security gateway > Configure > Interface addressing, choose which LAN interface and click on the edit button.
2. Change DNS server to custom defined and input the DNS server address. Example as figure below.
Reminder: Remember to click the "Save" button after changing any settings.
