Hello Chris,

Internal DNS Server should be setup and managed by you. It is basically used 
for name resolutions of storage servers and other machines that are local to 
the Data Center. As far as I know, Internal DNS server's configuration 
procedure should be same as a regular DNS Server configuration procedure. The 
procedure doesn't depend on CloudStack,

Thank you,
Chandan.

Subject: Internal DNS confusion

When creating a new zone, I have to enter the address for Internal DNS Servers. 
 Extract from the Cloudstack installation manual:

"Internal DNS 1 and Internal DNS 2. These are DNS servers for use by system VMs 
in the zone (these are VMs used by CloudStack itself, such as virtual routers, 
console proxies, and Secondary Storage VMs.)."


Question 1: Who manages the Internal DNS? Is an Internal DNS server setup and 
managed by me, or is it setup and managed by Cloudstack?

Question 2: If Internal DNS is setup and managed by me, how should it be setup?

Question 3: If it is setup and managed by Cloudstack, when did it get setup, 
and  how can I find out what address Cloudstack is using for this server?

Many thanks,

Chris
