What I am trying to do. My windows domain has multiple domain controllers. I'm uncertain that it is true but circumstances in the past lead me to believe that the first address that comes up for the domain name is the address that the client machines authenticate against unless it fails then it tries the next. Anyways I want each of my offices to only see the address of the domain controller closest to it when it queries the domain name.
example: the domain has the following computers dc00.example.com A 192.168.0.1 dc01.example.com A 192.168.0.2 dc10.example.com A 192.168.1.1 dc11.example.com A 192.168.1.2 ... many other non domain controllers >nslookup example.com 192.168.0.1 Server: dc00.example.com Address: 192.168.0.1 Name: example.com Addresses: 192.168.1.2 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.1 192.168.1.1 I want all 192.168.0.x addresses to point to a dns server that I can set up to only show closest DC addresses so that when a 192.168.0.x machine makes a query that it gets an answer similar to as follows >nslookup example.com Server: ns1.example.com Address 192.168.0.3 Name: example.com Addresses: 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 but if it queries some other machine in the domain it gets its address. _______________________________________________ Unbound-users mailing list [email protected] http://unbound.nlnetlabs.nl/mailman/listinfo/unbound-users
