Hi
If I understand you correctly your main concern is T1 activity, correct?
Fastest way to resolve is = Secondary Zones - Why? Resolve all queries
locally and your T1 is only used for delta updates (only changes are
replicated).
Forwarding = You have better control of which servers does your Server
contact for queries resolution. (Needs Active link)
Stub Zones = The big advantage of Stub Zones is that updates NS records
automatically, so if new DNS servers are added, your DNS server you'll know
about that. (Needs Active Link)
IMO: I f your primary concern is link activity, you should use secondary
zones, by using Secondary zones all queries will be resolved locally, and T1
traffic will decrease significantly
take a look at

- Let me known what do you think
- Wait for other opinions.

Goggled and searched this NG for answer, but still need help. (Jorge
reply on similar question on August 2, 2006 had good links)
MyCompany.com and OtherCompany.com are linked DMZ to DMZ via by dedicated
T1. OtherCompany.com has set up a special DNS server for MyCompany (and
other vendors) to use in their DMZ. This DMZ name server then links to
application servers at OtherCompany inside 2nd FW. Vendors can only reach
specific application servers / web sites.
I need to reduce the DNS queries to a minimum across the T1. Application
my users have was written such that a lot of DNS queries are used for each
application database update, refresh, or whatever. T1 traffic is very
high.
My question: which method, Stub Zone or Conditional Forwarding, will
result in the least amount of DNS queries across T1 link? Plus which
method can have the my local DNS server(s) hold a cache of DNS resolution
for a TTL of 12 hours or more? (refresh only during after hours.)
I hope I have asked my question correctly, I may have added too much
details, but trust me - the actual case is a lot more complex that this.
