Other considerations for DNS server configuration

The zones, domains, and resource records for AirPrint advertisement can be added to the parent DNS server of your organization. These domains and resource records can also be added to an existing zone. Clients that are configured to use that DNS server can discover the server using AirPrint when the following are specified in the network properties:

DNS server IP address
Search domains

However, we recommend installing the DNS role on the LPM server, and then adding the appropriate zones, domains, and records to that server. Specify that server as a secondary DNS server or configure a forwarder on the parent DNS server using the IP address of the LPM server.

Zone transfers

Zone transfers can be considered a security risk. It must not occur between the parent DNS server and the LPM server. Setting up a forwarder or a delegation prevents zone transfers between the parent DNS server and the LPM server.

Note: For more information on your environment, contact your system administrator.

Client configuration

You can configure the following with the IP address of the DNS server that is configured with a forwarder to the DNS server. The DNS server must be where the resource records for AirPrint advertisement and services discovery are maintained. Make sure that the iOS mobile device contains the correct zone or domain name as a search domain. For example, domain.com. These settings can be configured on the mobile device using a DHCP server or by manually editing the settings of that particular network:

Mobile devices
Macintosh computers
