[SOLVED]DNS best practice?

tbrandl

There are two ways to configure DNS:

One way:
- Allowing DNS outgoing for your internal nameservers
- internal nameservers forwarding to ISP-DNS
- ASG pointing to internal nameservers 

Another way:
- ASG forwarding to ISP-nameservers
- "request routing" on ASG for internal domain pointing to internal nameservers
- internal nameservers forwarding to ASG
 
Which way do you use? And why? Which is "officially preferred"?
Both configurations seem working good for me, we run the first alternative on our cluster, the second in branch offices without internal dns (domain dns reachable via site2site-vpn).

Thanks for your ideas!
Thomas

    It depends on how you have your internal name server configured. In Windows Server, for example, workstation.mydomain.local is resolved by entries in the Forward Lookup Zones.  ***.yyy.168.192.in-addr.arpa is reolved by entries in Reverse Lookup Zones.  If you don't have DNS on your server configured to create reverse-zone entries automatically, then there's no information to retrieve. [;)]

    Hi bob, 
    in reverse lookup zone I have a lot of ptr pointer with ipaddress - hostname, so it should work, I think!
