I Run it at home with no issues resolving my own domain name. Make sure port 53 TCP and UDP is opened from the Internet to your DNS servers if you have a firewall and if you are running TCP/IP filtering on the local machine make sure the same ports are open inbound.

They both work fine on the internal network for the domains that they control and caching internal requests, however we have to keep them manually in sync with the current ISPs dns servers, as they are the ones registered against the domain. If anyone wants to have a look the primary is 217.169.2.100 and secondary is 217.169.2.101,domain name is abbishaw.com (amoungst others) regards David. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hayes, Shawn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 7:00 PM Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] setting up DNS A DNS server is a DNS server is a DNS server. If you have the root cache configured on your DNS server you do not need any forwarders. If you do not have the root info you need forwarders. If you only deleted the . Zone you will have to add the root cache. -----Original Message----- From: Ian Moran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 1:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] setting up DNS No you don't.
