Best Way to Maintain Secondaries in a Forest? |
|
|
Assume you have a forest with four domains:
mydomain.com 192.168.5.10
a.mydomain.com 192.168.5.20
b.mydomain.com 192.168.5.30
c.mydomain.com 192.168.35.40
How should the reverse zone for 192.168.5.x be maintained?
My assumption was that a, b, and c subdomains would use mydomain.com as a
forwarder. The plan was to put the 192.168.5 reverse zone on mydomain.com,
and to either let all domains get the information by looking there, or
alternately to take a secondary of the reverse zone and put it on the child
domain controllers.
Any thoughts on the best way to build the reverse zone is appreciated.

IF this is Windows 2003, and all DCs in your forest are Windows 2003, or at
least one in each domain, you can store it in the ForestDnsZones container
so it will be available on all DCs in the forest, that is assuming DNS is
installed on your DCs.
Otherwise, If DNS is not on your DCs, or it's Windows 2000, then your better
bet is to put the primary reverse zone on the parent domain's DNS, and
create secondaries everywhere else in the forest

This is Windows 2000. Note that in my example the root domain and two
subdomains are on the same class C network. So it is not possible (or at
least not practical) to have each domain own its own reverse information.
My proposal was to have the root domain controller own the reverse and to
have the controllers for each subdomain in the forest get secondaries from
the root.

Just as I mentioned above, if it is Win2000, whether the child domains
(subdomains) are on the same subnet or on 10 different subnets in different
cities.
