[ActiveDir] DNS Server Using its own IP as a Primary DNS

[Justin_Leney]

Hi All,

I have 2 remote sites, one in Singapore and the other in Sydney.

I am going to configure a new DC/DNS/GC for Sydney.

Singapore has 2 domain controllers running DNS.

The new system in Sydney uses the DC's in Singapore as it's primary/secondary DNS.

After I run DCPROMO and configure DNS on the Sydney box, should I continue pointing to Singapore, or should I have the system point to it's own IP as primary DNS.

I have heard two schools of thought on this issue, and just wanted to get an opinion.

Thanks,
