Which two scenarios need a proper DNS configuration on Expressway servers? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is B. Expressway servers route calls based on SIP URI. C. Admins avoid IP address configuration for neighbor zone peers. DNS is required on Expressway when routing decisions depend on resolving hostnames or domain names rather than raw IP addresses. B is correct because SIP URI routing (e.g., [email protected]) requires Expressway to perform DNS lookups to resolve the domain portion of the URI to…

Explanation
DNS is required on Expressway when routing decisions depend on resolving hostnames or domain names rather than raw IP addresses. B is correct because SIP URI routing (e.g., [email protected]) requires Expressway to perform DNS lookups to resolve the domain portion of the URI to an IP or SRV record. C is correct because when administrators configure neighbor zone peers using FQDNs instead of IP addresses, Expressway must resolve those FQDNs via DNS. A is incorrect because certificate CN verification is handled by the TLS stack, not DNS. D is incorrect because NTP peer authentication is a time-synchronization function unrelated to DNS on Expressway. E is incorrect because software downloads via WebUI use the admin's local DNS resolver, not a DNS configuration specific to Expressway's call-routing stack.
