Re: DNS & Windows 2003 Server

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

That looks good. In the gamerskeep.net zone, just make an A record called
www pointing to 64.202.163.124. Delete the CNAME record. What's happening
is, you have a CNAME in your internal AD zone, and a CNAME in the external
zone, and the DNS revolver client gets confused. Internally for AD, the
gamerskeep.net name must point at the domain controller holding the SYSVOL
share for the domain. Just make a host record for the external IP host in
your AD/DNS zone (A record called www pointing to 64.202.163.124) of
gamerskeep.net and it will work.
