VPN Topology Page Fields

This field…	Displays…
Split DNS	The VPN site's split DNS mappings. When split DNS is configured for a VPN site, certain domain suffixes are mapped to corporate DNS servers. This means that requests for these domain suffixes are sent to the specific DNS servers to which they are mapped, while all other requests are sent to the ISP's DNS servers. For example, a VPN site's split DNS mappings might indicate that all requests for the domain suffix ".acme.com" should be sent to the Acme company's corporate DNS servers.
Trusted CAs	A list of root CAs at the VPN site, whose certificates are trusted by this gateway.
Sub-CAs	A list of second-level CAs at the VPN site, which are signed by a trusted root CA.
