DNS settings on DNS servers?

Hi there,

I've got 2 domain controllers in my domain (both 2003). One was DNS and now
i've made the second one DNS. Everything seems to be working.

On the first DNS server in the DNS settings within TCP/IP i've got primary
as itself and secondary as the second one.
On the second DNS server in the DNS settings within TCP/IP i've got primary
as itself and secondary as the first one.

Is that correct?


Thanks.

Hello David,

One of the possibilities, but correct. With 2003 you can also point to the
other first without getting problems like before with 2000. If not done make
your zone Active directory integrated.

Best regards

Just realised i've stated this wrong in my post.


ServerA is Primary DNS.
Server B is Secondary DNS.

Server A in TCP/IP points to itself as primary DNS and server b as
secondary.
Server B in TCP/IP points to serverA as primary DNS and itself as secondary.


Is that correct?


Thanks.

Microsoft has flipped back and forth on the primary secondary issue. For
now I believe point to itself for primary and another for secondary.

In Active Directory Integrated dns all zone information is kept with within
AD. So updates to dns come through AD replication.
