Hey guys and gals! Having trouble with my DNS server, here's the details from nslookup: can't find DNS server @ 192.168.1.100 (same IP addy as server) But, if I type mysite.com, I get this: Server: unknown address: 192.168.1.100 myserver.com primary server: OK! Responsible e-mail addy: OK! serial: 6 Refresh,, expire,, default TTl all OK!
myserver.mysite.com All OK! internet Address: 192.168.1.100

Summary: In how complex an environment have you done this? And how long did it take? For a large domain with many DC's, and especially with DNS AD integrated zones, that would be a horrendous nightmare! Not t...
