Re: ISA Acting as DNS Forwarder

Hi,

wondering if there is anyway to setup ISA to act as a DNS forwarder to an
external DNS Server, I've looked through the options as well as this
newsgroup without success. I know I can just setup the MS DNS Service as a
forwarder on the ISA box, but I was wondering if there was anything else
simpler.

install DNS on ISA, create a firewall rule that allows DNS access from LOCALHOST to EXTERNAL and from your internal DNS Server to LOCALHOST.
Enable the DNS forwarder in the DNS MMC on ISA. That's all.
