Hi all,

We are designing a new namespace for our new AD (2003 servers). We have an
Unix based DNS server (BIND) for name resolution. We are planing to use a
subdomain name of our root domain to be the namespace for the new AD e.g.
windows.myroot.com. Since all the Windows clients and servers (soon to be
domain controllers or member servers) are registered under the root domain,
e.g. winsrv01.myroot.com, will there be any potential problem with name
resolution both internally (within the LAN) and externally (VPN access from
the Internet)?

Thanks

Keith
