Re: DHCP dynamically updating internal DNS servers instead of authoritative?

What is the dhcp servers ip client settings on its nic card? It should only
be pointing to the internal dns server.

Why don't you post your dhcp servers ipconfig /all settings

Right,

but DHCP is trying to send updates to my 'internet' nameservers and not my
active directory nameservers, thats my problem.

Sorry if I'm being unclear.

The internal and external should be separate as long as they are you
should be able to run dynamic dns.

Your internal dns server should be just that internal only. Your
external dns server should be just that external only.

Your internal dns servers should forward (Do not use recursion) to an
external dns server for lookups thereby avoiding exposing as few
internal addresses as possible.


Right, but the external (internet) zones don't have A records for my
DHCP hosts, et cetera and I would like my internal DNS to have those
registered.
