Re: dns configuration with .local domain

Edward <hsmmsc@xxxxxxxxxxx> typed:
I want to set up my 2003R2 server DC on a ".local" domain.

Using my firewall router, I am also pointing a public ip address
using port forwarding on to this machine so that it can take SMTP
mail (I have exchange 2003 loaded on this server too).

Can anyone direct me to an article that may help me with how to
configure this?

under my dns mmc, I see the "mydomain.local" is already added. Do I
have to add a "mydomain.com" to this? If so, how to configure it?

You do need a zone for the public name this server will be know as on the
internet, for example, exchange.mydomain.com, in that zone create one new
host, leave the name field blank and give it the internal IP address of the
Exchange server.
This is so you can access the server by the same name internally as you do
from the internet. This is important if you have purchased a SSL certificate
named exchange.mydomain.com, to be clear, create the zone for the same name
as the certificate.
Then you can open port 443 and forward it to the Exchange server for
accessing Outlook Web Access or using Outlook with RPC over HTTPS. You can
get a certificate from GoDaddy for $20 which is really inexpensive.
