To enhance our Application Identification capability, Oracle has added the DNS Proxy feature in Oracle SD-WAN Edge 6.1. Users now have the ability to use a Appliance as a DNS Proxy Server by directing DNS requests to one of the Oracle Virtual IP addresses. An advantage of DNS Proxy is that Oracle can use the DNS information obtained and apply it to a set of defined Application Match Criteria. This Application criteria can then be applied to a Rule or Firewall Policy. This allows the user to defined an Application in a Rule and Override to local Service, for example the Internet Service (if one is defined at the site). A sample reason for doing so is that the user may want certain web sites sent out the local Internet circuit verses backhauling these sites through the Conduit to the NCN site.
