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 DCâs 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 DCâs primary DNS to the FSMO-role holder and then to itself as secondary.   Any thoughts?   -- nme .+-wi0-+Ö[EMAIL PROTECTED]Örzm Vry&-4ibb
