Best practices for DNS AD on domain controllers Andrea <pinco_fake[ at ]tin.it> 11/23/2008 4:56:48 PM Hello, I've two windows server domain controllers, 2008 srv and 2003 srv configured with DNS AD integrated. I would like to know which are the best practices for set IP DNS order on servers. This is my actual configuration: DC1: Primary DNS is local eth IP (192.168.1.1) DC2: Primary DNS is local eth IP (192.168.1.2) Is this good configuration? or I have to set also secondary IP same as this: DC1: Primary DNS is local eth IP (192.168.1.1) Secondary DNS is DC2 eth IP (192.168.1.2) DC2: Primary DNS is local eth IP (192.168.1.2) Secondary DNS is DC1 eth IP (192.168.1.1) ? Otherwise it is better to use localhost IP (127.0.0.1)? Thanks very much! Andrew
