= INVESTIGATION 2: CONFIGURING THE DNS CLIENT =
Now that you've setup a DNS server on '''vm1 - ''', you will need to configure all our your VMs to use that as the '''default DNS server'''. You should know how to do that, but if you forgot - go back the procedure, refer to [[http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/OPS335_Lab_1 | #Making_Persistent_.28Permanent.29_Network_Setting_Changes Lab 1]] to remind yourself.
You can but you shouldn't set your host to use vm1 as the DNS server. DNS is a critical component of your network setup and if it's not working right - you won't even be able to look for a solution online (or get to this wiki page) on your host. Also your host is configured to be a DHCP client and it gets its DNS server assigned automatically.
