Re: DNS Replication

Hello,

We are trying to setup DNS replication between dissimilar domains. Both servers are running windows server 2003, and are connected through a VPN tunnel.

Can someone please help us with the setup or point us to an article?

Thank you
Yorgy


I assume both domains are not in the same forest. If so, there is no replication possible, that is if you are assuming that the zone is an AD integrated zone, and expecting it to replicate to the other domain.

In such a scenario, the only option you have is to setup and allow a zone transfer from the one domain, where you pick one of the DNS servers to be a Master, and allow zone transfers, to the other DNS in the other domain, where you configure a Secondary, and specify the Master DNS server's IP address as the Master.

Make sure there are no firewall blocks across the VPN.

Modify DNS zone transfer settings
