Enterprise DNS Features
Complete overview of Squawk DNS capabilities - from advanced security to high performance infrastructure designed for enterprise environments.
Selective DNS Routing
One secure DNS endpoint, multiple access levels
Revolutionary DNS Security Architecture
The game-changing feature that sets Squawk DNS Enterprise apart: serve different DNS responses to different users from a single secure endpoint, based on authentication and permissions.
Internal Users
Access private corporate DNS entries + public internet DNS
External Users
Receive only public DNS - private entries stay hidden
Single DNS Server - Multiple Security Contexts
