Bob, making a DNS query by the application is a standardized procedure of 3GPP (3rd generation partnership project). All Mobile devices need to query a DNS server installed in the VoIP network to find the address of the server which will process their requests. This DNS server is under the control of the VoIP service provider and provides the IP address of the VoIP server.
Devices are pre-configured with the domain name of their home network ( atlanta.com for example). They need to find the IP address of the server on that domain by firing a DNS query. The DNS server's IP address is also a configurable parameter in all soft clients. My question was regarding this use case. This procedure is standardized as the DNS/DHCP procedure of discovering the outbound proxy server by the mobile client. With this background, if I need to query a DNS server installed on a given IP address on the network, is it technically feasible ? Or will the operating system automatically resolve the next hop based on the resolv.conf file (if it is configured there) if i try and send a request to atlanta.com?
