Configure conditional forwarding
Conditional forwarding allows you to set up rules where you specify an internal or external resolver and the traffic you want forwarded to that resolver. Queries to the domains you identify in these rules are not forwarded to SIA.
If you don't configure conditional forwarding rules, Security Connector forwards external domains to SIA and internal domains to your local DNS resolver.
This feature is currently in beta. It's supported on DNS Forwarder only and requires Security Connector 3.9 or later. To try this feature, contact your Akamai representative.
To configure conditional forwarding:
- In the Threat Protection menu of Enterprise Center, select Clients & Connectors > Security Connectors.
- Go to the security connector where you want to configure conditional forwarding rules.
- Click the icon for managing bypass rules.
- Click Add Resolver Rule.
- In the Forward queries to resolver field, enter one or two resolver IP addresses.
- Configure the condition or conditions for the rule. As part of this process, you enter the domains and the source IP address for traffic that you want forwarded to the resolver. Complete these steps:
- In the Query domain field, enter or paste domains in a comma-separated list.
- In the Source IP address menu, select Any source IP or Specific source IP. If you select Specific source IP, enter the source IP address in the provided field.
- To add another condition, click Add OR condition.
- Repeat steps 6a and 6b.
- Click Add to List.
