To add DNS servers:
  1. Go to Cases > Performance Testing > Objects > hosts.
  2. Click Create New.
  3. Enter a name for the DNS host.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Click Create New under Host Management.
  6. Enter the hostname and its IP address.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Repeat step 5 to 7 if you want to add more hosts.
To add DNS host groups:
  1. Go to Cases > Performance Testing > Objects > Host Groups.
  2. Click Create New.

  4. Click OK.
  5. Click Create New under Host Group Management.
  6. Select the device, the port and the host you have created in Cases > Performance Testing > Objects > hosts.
