Tom Killick's side will travel to the Stags home ground of Snows Stadium later this month on Saturday, October 26.
There will be a total of 32 ties at this stage of the competition with the winning side picking up £3,000 in prize money, and the losing sides set to pocket £775.
The Magpies will be buoyed by having already beaten Totton earlier this season when the Stags visited the Avenue and lost 3-2.
However, Killick's side will have to be wary of the dearth of attacking talent at Totton's disposal with the likes of former Premier League striker Charlie Austin and former Poole Town forward Tony Lee leading the line.
Dorchester have never made it past the third round of the competition, but have made it to that stage of the tournament on three occasions throughout its history, in 1971/72, 1996/97 and most recently in the 2003/04 campaign.
