Where to put our ISP's DNS info? TRock 5/10/2007 12:40:00 PM Scenario: Windows 2003 R2 SP1 DC running DNS for our local clients. Issue: I have been given two IP addresses from my ISP to use for external DNS. Where should I enter these? As forwarders on my 2003 DNS server? Or should this be entered into the firewall/gateway/router? Thanks,

You are not required to use them there and might establish your own forwarder (in your firewall/DMZ area) more securely. If you don't use these, then record them somewhere you can find in case they are ever needed. -- Herb Martin, MCSE, MVP http://www.LearnQuick.Com (phone on web site)
