Are you referring to conditional forwarding?
For example, all requests for anything in the widgets.com namespace will go to these DNS servers 10.x.x.1 10.x.x.2 ?

Part of the implementation plan includes the re-configuration of some of our domains ( to be handled by the site selector) on our Windows 2003 DNS servers (external DNS, not AD integrated) so that the global site selector will respond with name resolution. The GSS has been configured with all of the appropriate A records to respond to queries. I've tested what I thought was a workable solution by simply changing the NS records for one of the domains to the GSS. However, our DNS servers don't appear to be passing queries to the GSS. The only records that exist within the zone are the NS record and the SOA. I've tried changing the SOA to the GSS, as well as leaving the SOA blank. Apparently, we didn't purchase the ability for the GSS to act as a DNS server itself, it's only purpose is to provide name resolution, at which point it will query the load balancers at each site and respond with the VIP from the least loaded site. Does anyone know of a method within Windows 2003 DNS to basically pass all queries for a specific domain to an alternate name server? - Sean ----------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments to it, may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
