Re: parent - child DNS in Active Directory

No, Florian is saying that you probably have a * (wildcard) record in your internaldomain.com zone. This causes your lookups to ALWAYS append internaldomain.com to EVERY lookup. This, in turn, makes EVERY lookup go to your parent DNS server. You need to delete the * record, and your lookup should behave as expected.

So are you saying this is supposed to behave this way....where the child DNS server should be pushing Internet based queries thru the parent domains DNS servers....even though the forwarder is configured for the child domain ISP DNS and conditional forwarder specifies the parent domain?

Thanks. I have it setup as you said however when I run a nslookup with debug turned on it still uses the parent DNS servers to resolve external domain names. Here is the output. Notice the primary name server resolving www.yahoo.com <http://www.yahoo.com> is d01dc1.internaldomain.com.....not the ISP's nor the child domain DNS server.

It appends the domain name to your query. www.yahoo.com (who's this yahoo everyone's talking about?) gets www.yahoo.com.internaldomain.com and that's a domain the parent DNS would know.

Try querying www.yahoo.com. (notice the dot in the end of the address).

cheers,
