I need to find out how to create a DNS Caching only server on NT 4.0 server.

We host our own Web, ftp, and mail servers, while DNS is hosted by our ISP. What is happening now (since we put in a Watchguard Firewall) is that when someone tries to access www.mycompany.com, DNS works, but the firewall thinks that we are spoofing.
Watchguard offers this workaround

"Configure an internal caching DNS server and point internal clients to it. Create an entry on this DNS server that resolves the name of your company web site, email, etc. to the internal IP address of the server."

Can I do this on an NT 4.0 Server, and if so how. I know that DNS manager is installed.

Thanks in advanced.

Dave Schall

Ok, I got the DNS Caching part done, but still need to know how to create an entry to resolve the web site.

So when I type in www.mycompany.com it goes to 192.168.0.252 and does not look at the internet DNS.
