DNS wizard

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.dns (More info?)

Hi all,
After I install DNS server, if I say configure DNS, DNS
wizard will start. It asks me about root server. I don't
know which option I have to select. It asks whether it is
root server or there are any root servers in the network. I
only use DNS for internal use only. For extenal doamins, I
have DNS provided by ISP.

Please let me know your comments.

Regards,
Srinivas Acharya

It is probably not a root server and you probably don't have or want a root
server on your network.
If this is an AD domain, do _NOT_ use your ISP's DNS in TCP/IP properties on
_ANY_ machine in _ANY_ position. The only place to use your ISP's DNS is as
a forwarder for your DNS server (Forwarders Tab).

Hi,
That is first DNS server for our domain and I think we
should configure it as root server otherwise I have to
specify root server IP. I don't know which root server IP?.
Please let me know your comments.

Hi,
I want to add some more lines to my earlier posting. I
think I have to configure my first DNS server as root
server and I should delete root hints since that system is
not connected to internet.

Please let me know your comments.

You need to clarify this, will there be any internet access allow on this
network?
If there is going to be internet access _ALL_ DNS resolution MUST come from
the AD DNS server. You cannot use your ISP's DNS on any interface of any
domain member, this includes dial up interfaces. There is no exception to
the rule.
So if you say this system is not connected to the internet, does that mean
there is no internet access allowed on the entire network?

You need to clarify this before I can advise about your root server.

Hi,
Thanks for replying.
That machine where I have installed DNS is connected to
internet and whole netowrk is connected to internet. But
they are connected to internet via proxy server(ISA server
2000).

I have read in Allan carter book that if machine is
connected internet via proxy server or not connected to
internet we have to configure that machine as root server.

Also I am not sure whether to delete root hints if you
configure the DNS server as root server.

Now I see what you're asking. If you have an ISA or Proxy protected network,
you configure your DNS server as a Root server since that server will not be
used to resolve outside names. You create a root server by creating a dot
(".") zone. Rt-click your Forward Lookup Zones, new zone, type in just a
period (".") and it becomes a root server and will not resolve outside of
itself. You do not have to delete the cach.dns file or the Root hints. They
just disappear and are not used since they are NOT needed.
