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

[Creamer, Mark]

Wasn’t this one on the exam? The cities sound familiar…;-)   Anyway, why force a DC to go elsewhere for its DNS info – just make it query itself and make DNS AD-integrated.   <mc> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 9:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS Server Using its own IP as a Primary DNS   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, -Jbl
