Re: split zones not resolving correctly intermittently...

Read inline please.

In news:9C52C087-9C4A-49C1-B5D3-C0E1B3FA03F3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Hin <Hin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> typed:
I running Windows 2003 Active Directly/DNS in the office with the
following zones:

zone: companyname.local (for the local domain)
zone: citrix.companyname.com (server is hosted locally)

The companyname.com is hosted on our ISP.

If a user connect to this citrix.companyname.com while inside the
office, the DNS resolved to 192.168.1.254. If they are outside the
office, it
12.12.12.12, (as an example).

The problem I started to notices is that intermittently the user gets
the
12.12.12.12 while inside the office. The fix is always get them to
release/renew their ip address or a reboot. Afterward, it would
resolve correctly with the 192.168.1.254 address.

My question is what's wrong and how to fix this problem.

Either the client is still using an external DNS address, or the TTL on the
public side record is too long for the situation. See about reducing the TTL
to 15-20 minutes on the public DNS.
