DNS Server Information

SambaBox also serves as a DNS server in the network where it is located.

You can choose between STAR and HUB-SPOKE topologies and sambabox will register DNS records accordingly.

Hint

STAR and HUB-SPOKE are network topologies with distinct structures. STAR features a central hub connecting to multiple endpoints directly, making communication efficient but reliant on the hub’s stability. In contrast, HUB-SPOKE has a central hub linking to spokes, allowing efficient hub-to-spoke communication but requiring data to pass through the hub for spoke-to-spoke connections, potentially creating bottlenecks. STAR is ideal for centralized control and quick hub-to-endpoint communication, while HUB-SPOKE suits scenarios where hub-to-spoke communication predominates, accepting some hub-centric limitations. The choice depends on the specific network needs, emphasizing centralized control and speed (STAR) or optimized communication among spokes (HUB-SPOKE).
