Hi,

I have a Win2k DNS server not hosting any zones. I wish to 'selectively'
forward queries for "somedomain.com" to a specific DNS server. I think this
is possible using stub zones, but these only seem to feature in Windows
2003.

What I want to happen is;

-- Query comes in for "somedomain.com"
-- DNS server knows the NS for "somedomain.com" is xx.xx.xx.xx
-- DNS server forwards request to xx.xx.xx.xx
-- Done..

Is there a way to achieve this in Windows 2000. I am unable to use zone
transfers, and I dont want 'other' queries (e.g. hotmail.com) being
forwarded to "somedomain.com" - just zone specific queries...Perhaps by
editing the zone files directly.. ?

Thanks in advance

Joe
