Re: Email....what to do part2 :)

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

1. Yes DNS on a DC always points to itself. DNS to outside is handled by
forwarders or root hints.

2. The Dallas mail can be handled one of two ways. If they want continuous
connection the best way is to setup Outlook over Http. The other way is OWA
if they prefer to stay local with their Outlook..
