That would usually be your "Default Gateway"...

The IP address of the router that takes you out of your network...

Subject: [windows2000] Default Route Question


Hello all...

I am setting up a DHCP server and it wants a "Default Route" entry.

According to:
www.cis.uab.edu/info/faculty/hyatt/network/glossary/glossary.html, a
Default Route is a wild-card entry in a router/gateway routing table. It
basically says to route any packets to unknown addresses to this
address, and the machine there will be better able to determine the
correct route to the destination. A routing table can also have explicit
routing information for frequently used addresses, while the default is
a catch-all for the remainder of the infrequently used destination
addresses. 

I am still getting up to speed on some of my networking so forgive this
naive query plase...
Can I just put my internal DNS Server as the "Default Route"?
