Setting Up DNS Entry for Multiple Network Segments



On a machine that acts as a firewall or a router, where there are many
network segments with separate IP networks defined, are you expected to fill
in the same value for the DNS server on all of the separate networks? Or
should you define the DNS server on just one network and then leave DNS
Server blank for all other networks?

I can't imagine too many cases when I would want one machine to use
different namespaces simultaneously. I assume that for most cases you
want a single computer to have a single DNS server. I'm confused why
Microsoft doesn't just provide for a single default entry across all
interfaces.
