Thanks John. I wasn't very clear on that. As John notes: "..your primary DNS must be the DNS servicing AD." Absolutely correct!
In our site, we don't want to use the MS DNS to resolve DNS queries, but the AD clients must use MS DNS as the primary DNS. Since we have very simple DNS needs, we wanted delegate the DNS management to our ISP (which they already do for free!). As a result, queries made of our MS DNS are "forwarded" to our ISPs DNS for resolution for anything not in our MS DNS. The MS DNS only contains internal LAN machines (and most of those are dynamic). Thats how we get around having to maintain an entire DNS server, but get the AD capabilities of Win2k and full DNS services. I hope thats clearer! :-) Todd -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John Tolmachoff Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 12:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SonicWALL]- Sonic Wall and Windows 2000 >In addition, many people don't want to use MS DNS as there primary DNS. >Setup MS DNS to use forwarders to the primary DNS of choice.
