4 W2003 enterprize servers with DNS

We have 4 DNS servers, when we querry for our SOA record all four DNS return
can't find server address for type=SOA if we nslookup to the server wiith
primary we get "Non-existent domain"

if we perform an nslookup on primary server it responds with a different
server? name and ip?

All other querry's respond for all other records IE a, mx, prt etc. with no
problems.

Could you post the output from nslookup?

We have several forward zones with bcnstech.com as our primary, all records
point to internal private ip's , the cisco router is configured to nat
(point internal ip to external ip's). No dynamic DNS update allowed, two DNS
allow changes the others are locked down and communicate/respond to the
outside worlds request. The NS point to these two DNS servers.

The isssue with the SOA began around Mid June, we run terminal servers and
exchange server, web server, the only issue we have is not being able to
email Yahoo. accounts which troublshooting brought us to deiscover the SOA
not being resolved.

Our DNS hold only internal ip's and provide no private ip info to the
internet, anything provided is translated to public by the cisco.

If I understand, you are suggesting that we set up another DNS server that
holds our public IP's. I will need to study how to set this up and
integrated into our network, but it seems like a lot of work to supply an
SOA record, we have many networks setup and have never run into this issue
before.

I think you are confused about what the CISCO can do, it translates IP
addresses not DNS data. If a DNS server returns a private address, a router
does not convert that record data to a public address, however if it returns
a private address for a record, the record is useless to the client unless
the client is behind the same router (or firewall).

Setting up a network has nothing to do with setting up a DNS server to
return the correct record for a name by DNS. A DNS server does not care what
IP address is on the machine it runs on. If an application asks the DNS
server to resolve a name, it returns the record for that type and name to
the application.

Just to reiterate and solidfy what Kevin is saying, basically if you want to
host your external public domain name on your DNS servers, and it's the same
zone name as your AD zone, or you are hosting your website in your own
private network along with the public domain name, you will NEED a separate
DNS server to do this.

The "internal" DNS servers host the private IPs and will not be port
remapped from your NAT device (Cisco, Netscreen, Bay Networks, Linksys
router, etc).

The one you setup as your "external" DNS server will host the external
public IPs for your public resources and these servers will be the ones
getting port-remapped from your NAT device. There is nothing special to
configure these servers other than the need to be configured with their
public IPs in their nameservers tab identifying these DNS servers by their
external public IPs and only hosting public IPs for your www, mail, etc,
records. And yes, I am referring to these DNS servers as plural because the
Registrar requires two DNS servers to host any given domain name.

The "internal" servers will be used only by your internal machines since
they have the private IPs. The external DNS servers will be responding to
Internet resolution queries.

I hope that helped out along with Kevin's explanation.
