Abstract
Automatically configuring split-DNS operation in a remote access point (RAP) connected to a network. During RAP initialization, the RAP establishes a secure tunnel to its controller. To use this tunnel, a client must obtain an IP address from the controller using DHCP. The RAP snoops the client DHCP request, obtaining the domain name. This returned domain name is used as a target suffix or pattern for split-DNS operation. Additionally, the RAP may query DNS servers for additional domains supported, and add these domains to targets for split-DNS operation.
