Re: Web Edition come with DNS services?

In article <eiB1s4bGIHA.5328@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
coraleighmiller@xxxxxxxxx says...
Websites do need DNS to be accessible yes, however many website owners use
external DNS hosting companies to handle this for a very minimal cost
(~$10-$20 per year). Alternatively if you wished to provide your own DNS
service for you website, you could purchase the full Windows Server 2003
Standard edition.. or Windows Server Small Business Edition is a less
expensive alternative and along with DNS provides a few nice extra
components. -give it a look though to see if this is a better fit for you..

Why would anyone want a public web server to also handle public DNS?

DNS servers should be in the LAN, web servers in the DMZ, if your web
server needs DNS resolution, setup a firewall rule to allow DNS (TCP 53)
from DMZ to LAN IP OF DNS Server.
