When I do an IP config I’m
getting the correct IP addresses listed for the DNS servers. DNS is set to
have the child domains replicate with the root.

When
you say you're getting the "correct" DNS servers, what do you mean?
Also,
are you replicating DNS zones for the child domains between sites? It strikes
me like what's really happening is that your child domains don't hold each
other's DNS zones, so you can only see the local info.

Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS issues?
I have a problem with my DNS over the WAN and
VPN. Here is the issue. For some reason DNS will not resolve names
over the WAN, or VPN. I can only connect to resources by IP
address. This problem started when I upgraded my network in
January. We switched to a Cisco IP phone system along with all Cisco gear
(VPN concentrator, PIX firewall, switches, routers…lots of money
spent). We also upgraded our network at the same time from W2k to Server
2003. We have a Point to Point T between our sights and a T1 for internet
access here. We have about 30 people who VPN into the network on the VPN
concentrator. Our AD (I actually run all IT for 3 companies, same owners)
is one Root domain with 3 child domains 1 for each company. All common
resources and user accounts are in the root. Computer accounts and private resources
are in each child domain. The child domains share nothing. Due to the
phone system we have several V-LAN’s one for voice, VPN, Guest, and
computer network.
When I am at the other location I can’t
browse the network, or attach to mapped drives from my logon script (they
don’t even appear). I can only attach to resources if I create a
new mapped drive by IP address. When I do an IP config I get all the
right DNS servers listed. I can only ping them by IP address. The
same situation happens when I VPN from home. We had DNS only on the
network. My Cisco vendor told me it’s not their gear. I added
WINS to see if this would help…it did not. Any suggestions on what I
could have configured incorrectly? Could it be the Cisco routers?
Thank you for the help!
