In this scenario, I’d recommend Primary to another and secondary to self.

Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS should point to...?

 

Hi –

 

I have just been brought into a situation where a client has several poorly connected (VPN and slow connections to the Internet) sites in a single W2k domain. Each site has a single DC that runs AD-integrated DNS. Previously, most of the DCs had tombstoned. Microsoft walked the in-house guy through demoting and re-promoting everything.

 

The question is this: where should each DC’s DNS point? I have always thought they should point to themselves and only themselves. The DNS server forwards to the Internet (as everything is poorly connected). The in-house tech said Microsoft told him to point each DC’s primary DNS to the FSMO-role holder and then to itself as secondary.

 

Any thoughts?
