Re: DNS transfers

Agreed about the tab, but why set it to "All machines" if the ISP setup the
Linux based DNS server in his office? I'm thinking that poster should know
the IP address of said device on his network and should be able to implement
tighter controls between these two devices. Of course whatever is needed
between Linux device and ISP is a different story.

PS - I would have opted to the bottom radio button of 'only to specific
servers'.

PSS - Don, the tab we are talking about is open DNS Managment snapin > go to
zone in question > r-click on zone and select properties > zone transfer tab

My ISP has setup a Linux based DNS server in our office and wants to
transfer/update (sorry, not sure of this nomenclature) DNS from out
existing
Server 2003 DNS server but claims that the Windows DNS server isn't
configured to allow updates. Does anybody know what I change on my Server
2003 side to allow this other DNS server to gets updates?

Thanks

Do you mean zone transfers? If so, under the zone (domain) properties,
Zone transfer tab, check the box to allow transfers. You can control by IP
as well, but if the zone transfer request is coming across your firewall,
I would just leave it to All machines. COnfigure your firewall to allow
TCP & UDP 53.
