Ok, maybe this will shed a little light on the situation, or make it all the
more confusing, you decide.
Our main main domain is abc.com & we have about 6 other domains & websites
that we host.
Our phone/data provider hosts our dns for abc.com.
Our AD domain controller for abc.com has forwarders set to our ISPs name
servers, since they also handle our email, & has entries for the NAT
addresses (192.168.6.x) of all our other websites. All internal computers
have this computer's IP address set as their dns server. We have dns running
on 2 other computers with public & private addresses bound to their NICs.
We picked one of our other domains, lets say def.com, to handle dns for the
rest of our domains. So, under abc.com we have 2 A records, well 4 actually,
for finster.abc.com & toejam.abc.com, which have both private & public IP
addresses. Somewhere I need to add something (an A record?) that maps
finster.abc.com to ns1.def.com & toejam.abc.com to ns2.def.com, am I right?
All other domains have SOA of finster.abc.com, NS records for
finster.abc.com & toejam.abc.com, & an A record for the www address, which
is the public IP address. Again, if any of this seems kind of whacked out, I
inherited it & am trying to clean it up!
I am open to suggestions!
Thanks-
