Re: DNS Client Config

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hello Barry,

This states, NOT to configure the ISP's DNS server on the NIC. What else do you need?

"If this server needs to resolve names from its Internet service provider (ISP), you must configure a forwarder."

Thanks, but that doesn't really spell it out. I am having a hard time
finding something that says never set a secondary DNS server on a
Windows domain client to an external DNS server. I need something I
can show that says only use internal DNS servers and this is why you
don't use external.

I am looking for a white paper that says in plain English that when
setting up DHCP, you don't need to add the ISP's DNS server as a
secondary DNS. It is best to use one of the many internal DNS's,
and then use forwarders. I can't seem to find a document that
spells that out. This is in a medium sized AD environment.
