Folks,
I'm looking for input to a debate we're having over whether or not
to root our campus Active Directory at gla.ac.uk (which is our public
internet persona) or at some other point such as ad.gla.ac.uk (which creates
a pseudo department in local terms) or gla.ac.uk.local.
The public DNS will stay with Bind (for ever!).
The merit of paralleling our long established DNS structure is that
everyone is familiar with it and the 'names' that come out automatically
such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] are immediately known by the customers. There is
no need to grapple (and many do) with ugly oddities that a different root
produces.
But there may be, down the track hard reasons not to do this. Anyone
with bitter experience either way?
Regards, Roger Mackenzie (Glasgow University, Scotland for the record)
