Ski,
In theory, that should work. You'll have to keep in mind, though, that AD stores other records (usually SRV records) in sub-domains (i.e. _sites.example.com, _tcp.example.com). That may not be relevant to you if the snap-in is simply looking for A and PTR records for a given host. But, in case that's not all (you mentioned AD), keep the above in mind.

Shares and open files work, but sessions hang because for each session the MMC plugin attempts to do a forward and reverse DNS lookup on the client name and IP and times out. Since we are not a complete Microsoft AD shop (we use bind), our clients do not have dns records. I am wondering if: 1. Is it possible to turn off the reverse DNS lookups in the Shared Folders MMC plugin (preferred solution) 2. If not #1, would it be possible to have a 'fake' dns server that just returns the the query information and the answer. Then I could just point a single management client to the 'fake' server and still get session mgmt working. cheers, ski --- "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it connected to the entire universe" John Muir Chris "Ski" Kacoroski, Unix Admin 206-501-9803, ski98033 on IRC and most IM services _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
