DNS Problem - Microsoft advance server 2000
Posted on 2003-03-01
I have two NIC cards in the back of my server. One NIC card is setup for internal LAN purposes - Has NATTING with the external nic and is the main NIC. The second is setup on external IP addresses. Here is the problem. When both NIC are active. My DNS server gets an error: An Automated Test Query Failed. When go to DNS properties and go to Monitoring and do TEST NOW - I get Failed Simple Query and Failed Recursive Query.
When I turn the 2nd NIC off. Its fine everything gets PASS on the test and everything goes back to being OK..
WHAT IS CAUSING THIS? AM I not setting something up right??? Please help. Clint

First reaction was sounds something like the default Gateway of the NATted LAN nic is set so traffic destined for the internet (i.e. the DNS query) is going to the internal LAN.... but thats unlikely otherwise you'd be reporting other problems too.
Perhaps a post of IPCONFIG /ALL and possibly ROUTE PRINT here (change part of external Ip address ranges if you wish) when both are active would give some clues.

Are you using the DNS server strictly as a caching server, or is it authoritative for any zones? Also, do as dragon-it recommended and post an IPCONFIG /ALL with both NICs enabled.
P.S. Warez are bad ;-)

If it failed both tests then passes when one NIC is disabled, sounds to me like something concerning metric interface.
Go into ur LAN TCP/IP properties and give ur external LAN a metric value lower than that of ur internal LAN. eg 1 for ur external LAN and 4 for ur internal LAN

Here is my ipconfig setting... the first one is when everything works fine... the 2nd one is when the connection #3 is enable and then the DNS starts reporting errors.... Again the whole setup is my box from my provider. then one cable goes thru my internal netgear box where it is natted... connection 3 goes straight from my providers box to the back of the server??? any ideas????
