DNS and NBNS name server origins

The IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of DNS name servers and the IPv4 addresses of NBNS name servers can be dynamically assigned to subscriber sessions from different authentication origins as listed in Table: DNS and NBNS name server authentication origins . The default subscriber management authentication origin priority determines the relative priority when DNS and NBNS name server IP addresses are obtained from multiple origins as illustrated in Figure: DNS and NBNS name server authentication origins.
