Re: Reverse lookup issue |
|

In news:C585A64B-AD27-46EF-8579-C5A7FABCCBB7@microsoft.com,
JNGlad <JNGlad@discussions.microsoft.com> made this post, which I then
commented about below:
| Quote: | When doing a ping -a <ip address of non-windows host> I get a
response but no host name, also the same result when using nslookup
with the IP. All works fine for Windows hosts.
Windows hosts are in a single domain Windows 2003 forest and use DDNS
for the zone ad.xyzcorp.com. Infoblox unix based DNS servers host the
zone xyzcorp.com and is configured such that ad.xyzcorp.com is
delegated to the Windows DNS servers and the Windows DNS servers
forward to the Infoblox servers. Forward name resolution works fine
and reverse lookups work fine from a Windows host to any other
Windows hosts but not to the hosts in the xyzcorp.com zone. If the
Windows client is configured to point directly to the xyzcorp.com DNS
servers then the reverse lookup also works but does not when pointing
to the Windows DNS servers. How should the DNS servers be configured
so that reverse lookup works when a Windows host tries a reverese
lookup against a host that resides in the parent xyzcorp.com zone?

To ensure any DNS server to resolve ANY queries in your infrastructure, you
must have a copy of that zone or some other way to get to it. In your case,
it seems a secondary of the reverse zone on the other server may be prudent.
Does that make sense?
