That is pretty much how we have it set right nowâBIND for public facing DNS,
which causes no problems. But, the internal DNS servers still need to point domain.edu
to the web server, as those are the DNS servers that everyone on campus actually
points to. How do I get around them possibly resolving the wrong IP when going to
domain.edu in a browser? As it stands now, there is a possibility they will resolve to
the IP of a DC.

Hi Doug,
The situation you're describing is called split DNS, and is rather common.
What you have in this scenario is two sets of DNS servers - internal (AD), and
external (public facing). Your public facing DNS servers have things like the Internet
Ip of your WWW and your MX records and good stuff like that. There's no sign of the AD
DNS in your public facing DNS.
Internally, you duplicate all the necessary records on the AD DNS as they are
in teh external zone, except you may wish to use the private IPs instead if you want.
Does this help?
--Brian

What is the proper way to DNS my domain so that people are pointed to
the web server? Currently I have www.domain.edu DNSed to the web server
(where domain.edu is our Active Directory domain). I would also like to
DNS domain.edu to the web server. Will I run into issues with this?
When
I DNSed domain.edu to our pop3 server (don't ask why) we were having
problems with the mail clients not using the correct DNS entry
(because
domain.edu was DNSed to two DCs and a front-end pop3 server).
Oh yeah, I am using AD integrated DNS (if that matters).
Any help is appreciated.
