Re: DNS-Urgent-Help -Please



Hi Medo

One DC can host multiple ZONESs in the forest, though youo will want to
ensure you have at least 2 DNS servers with each zone.

You are able to go back to your origional design. If you now make your MUX
DC a DNS server and point the DCs and clients to this server for name
resolution they will be fine. You will need to make user that each client
and server can find the DNS zone for each other domain in the forest, either
though secondary zones, or forwards.

The config I have used is as followed:

- Root hosts its zone and secondaries for each of the other forest
domain zones
- DCs has DNS for their domains
- These DCs below the root forward all unresolved requests to the root
DC (who has zones for all other domains in the forest)
- Root forwards to ISP for zones outside the forest.

*I also agree with the comments that this is alot of domains for 100 users*

Hope this helps!

Mike
