<term><anchor id="DNSPROXY"/>dns proxy (G)</term>
<listitem><para>Specifies that <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> when acting as a WINS server and
finding that a NetBIOS name has not been registered, should treat the
NetBIOS name word-for-word as a DNS name and do a lookup with the DNS server
for that name on behalf of the name-querying client.</para>
<para>Note that the maximum length for a NetBIOS name is 15
characters, so the DNS name (or DNS alias) can likewise only be
15 characters, maximum.</para>
<para><command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> spawns a second copy of itself to do the
DNS name lookup requests, as doing a name lookup is a blocking
action.</para>
<para>See also the parameter <link linkend="WINSSUPPORT"><parameter moreinfo="none">
wins support</parameter></link>.</para>
<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">dns proxy = yes</command></para></listitem>
