On your internal DNS server delete the "." zone in your DNS Manager and hit Refresh. You should then be able to put in the required forwarders for your ISP's DNS servers.
Then either config your clients or your DHCP scope for your clients to use the internal DNS server as primary. No other network prop settings (including your internal DNS server net props) should be referring to your ISP DNS servers, other than your forwarding entry in the manager. Now when clients try to hit any external sites, they will query your internal DNS, your internal DNS will then query the ISP DNS you specified. Then those entries will be cached on your internal DNS server according to the TTL specified for that record. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: Suzanne Capener [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 7:10 PM To: CF-Server Subject: RE: OT:DNS Problems We have done what you want to do. That being, use the ISP's DNS server as the primary DNS server and then run another internal DNS server so that you can use Active Directory on your network. I hesitated to reply since I do not know how our technical support team implimented our DNS and I am not so sure they did it the way it should be done since we do not really have an in house DNS expert. Our configuration works (that is if the DNS server is running). My guess is that it is fairly simple and works similar to the following. All the servers that need public IP's use the ISP's DNS server. All the machines with private ip's use the internal DNS server. I will confirm the configuration and get more info. --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
