I have a NT4 domain with W2K servers (excluding PDC/BDC's). We use an
MSFT ISA firewall with internal network address scheme of
223.38.50.1-254 for our internal network,. The clients currently use
the firewall client to get out to the internet. I have tried
unsuccessfully to setup a forwarding DNS server, when I do it basically
corrupts my internal traffic. I am currently building a W2k3 server and
will try the DNS again. All I want to do is to forward lookup for
internal clients, so I can use it in my DNS entry in my DHCP. How can I
set it up so that it does not forward out for the 223.38.50 range?
Thanks,
LB

How did you get that range for the internal addresses?

Where? All DNS clients should be set to INTERNAL
DNS server (set) ONLY. (NIC->IP properties.)

The internal DNS servers should forward to the ISP
(to external DNS only.) (Forwarding tab of the MMC.)

Remember that DCs and even DNS servers are themselves
DNS clients.

Setup an internal Reverse zone for that range.

My guess is you just appropriated this range however.

Thanks for the quick reply Herb.
The 223 address was already setup when I got here. I have heard of
other companies using this range many years ago (1995) as I believe it
is a reserved unused range so I have not changed it.

I want to point my DHCP clients to this server for DNS, and the gateway
will be my firewall.
This is the only DNS server; I think my solution is the internal
reverse zone.
So in the reverse lookup zones, do I create a primary zone and enter
the PTR and cname entries for my servers?

Thanks,
LB

Technically you don't own it.

The correct privately administered ranges are:

192.168.0.0/16
172.16.0.0/12
10.0.0.0/8

"This"??? Which server?

??? Reverse zones are almost never important internally.

Yes. If you need reverse zones.

What actual problems are you experiencing now?

What symptoms?

Do you have an INTERNAL DNS servers? (You should
not be doing any of the above externally.)

The 223.0.0.0/8 CIDR is a reserved range and really shouldn't be used
without permission from IANA.
To keep these from going to the internet create a reverse lookup zone named
223.in-addr.arpa.
