Some one some where must be doing the following:
We run BIND on VMS for all our internal DNS needs, this is acutally split
over 3 servers, with 2 being VMS and the 3rd is a Windows server.(1 primary
and 2 secondary servers)
All the desktops and servers point to these Bind servers for all look ups,
unless it cant be found, then the request is sent to our ISP's Bind servers.
All the clients have entries in Bind of host.company.co.uk
My ideal plan is to set up Active Directory but have a an AD name of
"company.ad" we wont/shouldnt be publishing the AD on the internet.
So what i'd like to do is run DNS on a Windows 2000 server yet not have to
go round and reconfigure all the clients to point to a new server.
I know i can do it if the AD was a child domain, ie ad.company.co.uk. By
adding NS entries to the Bind server pointing to the Windows DNS server.
If any one can point me to a document that walks you through it. i'd be more
than gratefull.
Tried all the MS white papers, they say you can do it, but dont go into a
real detail on how, which is hardly suprising though.
The DNS and Bind book by oreily only says about using Bind not about mixing.

Any help or hints much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
