RE: [ActiveDir] DNS Configuration question

[Roger Seielstad]

I run root hints on all my primary AD domain controllers (we have an empty root plus a single production domain). The production domain controllers all have root hints, and the root domain controllers are all set to forward to the production domain DCs.

 

DNS is more or less set and forget for Internet resolution, so there's really very little reason to use forwarders in my opinion.

Do you all forward your Windows 2000 DNS requests to your ISP/bandwidth provider's DNS server for external lookups or do you have the root hints on your internal DNS servers and let them do external lookups themselves?
