Duplicate Zone file

[Joe]

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

I am setting up new pri & sec DNS server and remove the zone file for
domain from ISP that we already changed in the registrar to use thi
newDNS server. it works ok so far (still in moniroting).
But i also create zone files for other domains that still hosting with
our ISP.

These domains still pointing to ISP DNS, but the zone files exist in
ISp and in us. Is this will create any problem?

later on when everything monitored ok and then we are going to move
all of the domains from ISp to our new DNS.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

So you're saying you will be taking over hosting for these domains in-house
with your DNS server?

Not that I see. No one on the Internet will be touching your machine for the
zones still being hosted elsewhere until you change it over.

None really. Once you make the change, then queries will be going to your
server for those domains. Make sure its up 24/7 and you have another DNS as
well, since the registrar requires two nameservers registered per domain.

One thing, is your server also hosting AD?
Is your server on a private IP range or is it on a public IP range?

Sounds like you're ready to go. Good luck. If you have any probs, just post
back. If you ever need AD, setup a separate DNS for it.

The reason for a separate server for AD is to keep the records separated.
You don't want to expose your internal records publicly for one, and second,
if using private IPs for the internal net, you can't mix private and public
records. Don't choose the same name for AD that you're using externally, or
there will be a third, which is extra administrative overhead.
