Re: ISP's DNS as secondary DNS?

I would never recommend setting up ISP's DNS servers in AD environment. All
your AD clients (all computers in either domain) should use DNS servers that
are able to resolve names within all your AD domain namespaces.

Hi,

I have a basic Win2003 active directory domain with all the XP
machines pointing to the domain controller for DNS.

Would there be a problem with having the ISP's DNS as the secondary
DNS for the workstations?

The most critical server that is used here is across the internet,
so users still need to have internet even if the domain controller goes
down.

Thanks for your help,
