make my DNS to maintain my zone. |
|
|
Hi all...
I have the following problematic.
1.- I have register the domain XYZ.COM at NIC.COM
2.- I have configured NIC.COM to forward queries to NS0.XXX.COM and
NS1.XXX.COM
3.- I have configured the XYZ.COM zone at that DNS server. I have added in
that several A record, for example, WWW, NEWS, MAIL, etc.
4.- All work perfect. I used that scheme because I had dynamic IP assigned
by my ISP so it was easier to update the A records in the DNS server.
5.- While I had dynamic IP I installed Windows Server 2003, with DNS and
Active Directory, among other services. When I configured the DNS, I had to
use CORP as the domain name (just to choose one name). in that case, the
FQDN was: CORP.XYZ.COM and all client computers connected to CORP domain.
All OK.
6.- Now I have semi static IP, that is, it's an IP that is kept when I
reconnect all the times, but it's renew rarely, so I want to maintain the
current DNS server, but all the A records to be maintained in my DNS server.
In the current DNS server (NS0.XXX.COM), I have configured an NS record
pointing to my DNS server. Here I used the wizard to add the zone XYZ.COM
and I added only the WWW A record.
7.- I run: PING WWW.XYZ.COM and the name cannot be resolved :-(
What is the problem with my configuration? can the zone XYZ.COM exist in two
DNS servers? maybe that is the problem.
Thanks a lot in advance

Why don't you make your inside DNS server a Primary zone of xyz.com and let
the outside DNS host a secondary zone. This way you can change records, and
it will pull them.
Now if you do not have that sort of control over the exeternal DNS servers,
then it will be difficult to dowhat you are trying, unless I misunderstood
your intentions.

I want to forget the second DNS managing the zone only in my DNS server.
Now other question converning this. Currently I have a 2 zones named
_msdcs.CORP.XYZ.COM and CORP.XYZ.COM that were created by the installation
process with some registers in them. If I manage XYZ.COM, can I delete those
zones? Hwo can I change the local domain too? At present, LAN domain is
CORP. I need it to be XYZ without reinstalling Windows.
I have Exchange Server 2003 and Active Directory too.

DO NOT DELETE THOSE ZONES. They are required by AD.
As I explained, you won't be able to manage an external DNS server. Besides,
this is an AD DNS server. It's recommended not to use such a system for
external data. If you want to manage xyz.com, I would recommend using
another standalone server, but it's easier to just allow your registrar to
handle DNS for the external data.
Now if you want to manage it to create private records soley for internal
users, I would create an xyz.com zone, create your www record under it, and
you should be ok.
