The DNS raw option allows you to add options to the DNS service in a raw format that gets passed to the service when deployed. Raw options assigned to a parent object are not inherited by child objects. For example, an option set at a parent zone is not inherited by a child zone.
DNS and DHCP Raw Options are not overridden if a Raw option is configured at the Server Group level and the individual server level. During the deployment to the individual server, the Raw options are either included or eliminated based on the following scenarios:
Configuring different deployment option on the Server Group and server
If a Raw option is configured on a Server Group and a different Raw option is configured on an individual server that is associated to that Server Group, the Raw options are included and subsequently deployed to the individual server. For example, if Raw option Raw_Option_1 is specified on the Server Group and Raw option Raw_Option_2 is specified on a specific server that is associated to that Server Group, the deployment to the specific server would contain both Raw_Option_1 and Raw_Option_2.
Configuring identical deployment options on the Server Group and server
If a Raw option is configured at a Server Group and an identical Raw option is configured on an individual server that is associated to that Server Group, one of the duplicate Raw options is eliminated and the option is deployed only once to the individual server. For example, if Raw option Raw_Option_1 is specified at the Server Group and Raw option Raw_Option_1 is specified on a specific server that is associated to that Server Group, the deployment to the specific server would only contain one instance of Raw_Option_1.
