Oracle Names servers not only respond to requests for information on their own domains, but they also respond to requests for information they have obtained through transactions with other Oracle Names servers. The Adv. tab enables you to configure how client requests are forwarded to Oracle Names servers in remote administrative regions.
Authority Required
Click this option to instruct the Oracle Names server to obtain information from an Oracle Names server in a remote region. If this option is not selected, an Oracle Names server will respond to a client request directly, without forwarding the request to an Oracle Name server in the remote region.
Default Forwarders Only
Click this option to forward queries only to those Oracle Names server listed as default forwarders.
Forwarding Desired
Click this option to instruct the Oracle Names server to provide remote Oracle Names address location information to clients. This way, client are redirected to the appropriate Oracle Names server. If this option is not selected, the Oracle Names server will have to connect to the remote Oracle Names server on behalf of clients.
Forwarding Available
Click this option to instruct the Oracle Names server to forward client request to remote Oracle Names servers. If this option is not selected, clients without access to the network outside the local domain will not be able to resolve names.
Modify Requests
Click this option to instruct the Oracle Names server to refuse any operations which modify data in its region. This means that users cannot add new data to the Oracle Names server.
Maximum Reforwards
Specify the maximum number of times between 1 and 15 the Oracle Names server will attempt to forward a client request to a remote Oracle Names before allowing it to fail. The default is 2.
