Comment: DNS question
I have a question regarding internal and external namespaces for win2k's DNS setup. I am trying to set up a home network and am planning my *little* DNS namespace I have heard its better to separate the internal and external namespaces. One of the reasons given is that if you use your public namespace on your internal DNS network then there could be a problem with internal clients being able to resolve internet names. But I don't understand why?? If I used a public namespace internally and used DNS forwarders to point to my ISP's DNS servers, why wouldn't my internal clients be able to resolve external names ? Thanks!

Reply: (edit)I'll answer here too... Skinsfan, sounds like you got some good information. Generally you will use your internal name internally and use it for your clients to connect to. You DNS server will run on a W2k server to serve your AD. It will not, nor would you want it to be an Internet DNS server. Likewise, you would not want your ISP to know about your AD domain. Configure your AD DNS server to Forward to you IPSs server for DNS resolution and you should be all set. All clients should point to your AD DNS server.

Reply: (edit)Thank you Glen. I was going to separate the namespaces anyway but I wanted to understand why. Makes sense to keep the internal and external networks separated.
