DNS with two zones and internal PCs

[zillah]

We have got two DNS servers at work (we have Active Directory) , one within our LAN and other within DMZ area

The one within our LAN 192.168.1.10

The one within DMZ area 192.168.101.99

Windows 2003 launches the DNS Microsoft Management Console, from which we can perform your DNS administration.

DNS MMC snap-in à Expand the DNS server à Right-click the “ Forward Lookup Zone “ folder for each DNS server (LAN and DMZ) we have got two zones, they are called : rami.au and rami.global (fake one)

We have got many other servers within LAN and DMZ.

One of these many servers is : a media server within DMZ area (192.168.101.202) :

My Computer à Right Click à Properties à Computer Name

Full computer name Name : ramimedia.rami.global

Domain: rami.global

1- When I checked the “ rami.au ” (we have two zones rami.au and rami.globa, unlike the DMZ one) folder under “ Forward Lookup Zones ” for DNS LAN (not DMZ area ) I found this entry :

Host (uses parent domain if left blank): media

Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) : media.rami.au ,,,,not media.rami.global ?

IP address : 192.168.101.202

2- When I checked the “ rami.au ” (we have one zone, only rami.au. unlike the LAN one ) folder under “ Forward Lookup Zones ” for DNS DMZ area (Not LAN area) I found this entry :

Host (uses parent domain if left blank): media

Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) : media.rami.au ,,,,not media.rami.global ?

IP address : 215.43.57.202,,,,,,,,,,,,,fake public ip address as well

Shouldn’t “ option 1 ” have been within rami.global zone not rami.au zone ?

Note: All servers have got win2003 OSs

If the AD domain name is rami.au, and the machines were joined to the rami.au zone, then I would expect DNS forward entries for those machines. If they belong to rami.global, then that does not make sense .
