ABC Company owns ABC.com has an internet presence and has external DNS hosted by ATT.
Internally, there are two Domains..one separating Internal Resources and the other strictly for Internet Resources ~web servers, firewall servers, etc~. With a one way trust implemented to allow the internal accounts to access the internet etc. Is it feasable to just upgrade both of those NT4 domains to separate AD forest roots to maintain the boundary between the Inet domain and the internal domain? Meaning...is there any flaw in upgrading both domains into their own root domains in the same forest for example Internal.ABC.com and Internet.ABC.com without actually having an AD root of ABC.com exist? Basically im just wondering how AD would react or any really serious design flaw of not making an AD Root of ABC.com and instead having two separate root domains...but I "guess" they sort of share similar namespaces. I guess it just doesnt sit right with me creating Internal.ABC.com and Internet.ABC.com knowing there will never be an AD domain of ABC.com and that will just exist for an internet reference. Although I cant thing of anything wrong with it. Is this overly complicated? I dont have the ability to upgrade the internal domain anytime in the forseeable future, however the internet side is primed and ready. I dont really have the resources to create a whole root of "ABC.COM" and then attach "Internet.ABC.com" as a child domain off that root. So this solution seemed to fit rather nice. I guess im just looking for a "Well did you think of this problem?" answer from some of you who have far more experience at planning this than I. :) Thanks B _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
