Create Route 53 Resolver Rules
Create Route 53 Resolver Rules
The next step is to create Route 53 Resolver Rules. Route 53 Resolver rule allows to define two actions: Forward or System.
- With Forward, you can configure Route 53 Resolver to forward DNS queries to an external DNS resolvers (eg DNS server on- your premise).
- With System, Route 53 will query internally for domain name resolution (Private DNS zones, VPC DNS, and Public DNS).
- Go to Route 53 console through the search box and find Route 53.
- In the left sidebar, select Rules and select Create rule.
- Enter the following information:
- Name: ForwardToOnPremAD
- Rule type: Forward
- Domain name: onprem.example.com. (This is the domain name of the directory you created in the previous section)
- VPC that use this rule: HybridDNS-VPCStack
- Outbound Endpoint: R53-OutboundEndpoint
-
In the Target IP addresses, enter the two recorded AWS Managed Microsoft Active Directory IP addresses. Note, you need to select Add target to add a second IP address.
- Select Submit
- Finish creating Route 53 Resolver
- You have now configured Route 53 Resolver to forward queries for onprem.example.com to another DNS resolver (eg AWS Managed Microsoft AD). The domain name, onprem.example.com, simulates a DNS domain hosted by your DNS on-premise system.
