dacool25 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Hey everybody,I have a question and was wondering if some of you could help me out. I have a server 2003 box that is my main dns server. This server is also an active directory controller, so it tries to make the main A record for the server the AD box, not my webserver box.Every time that I try to change the main A record to my webserver, it will just automatically change it to itself after about 10 minutes. Is there a way of keeping the A record to the webserver and have active directory on the DNS box?Thanks
nmX.Memnoch Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Let me guess...You named your AD domain the same as your web domain?
dacool25 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 xDYes, thats correct. Can I keep it that way, or do I have to change the AD domain?
cluberti Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 You can indeed do this, but this then requires a split DNS structure - one for external clients, and one for internal clients. You could disable the DNS update for the web server box, but that's a temporary quick-fix. You need to investigate setting up a split DNS.
