Best practice and method while installing DNS in workgroup environment...
Hi friends !
I have installed DNS in the same installation of Active Directory and managed Domain Controller too. But I never installed DNS in workgroup.
Through my previous post here on experts-exchange, I came to know about ins and outs of DNS in workgroup. Yet I want to install DNS in workgroup as per the agreement of our IT department.
My idea is to will bring all the internal clients in same workgroup i.e. XYZ and in System Properties--->Computer Name---->Change--->More---
Tell me:
1. Do we use the same (.) in DNS while installing it WITHOUT Active Directory. I mean to say that while installing DNS, do we HAVE TO use something like xyz.internal (as we use in Domain environment) or just XYZ is OK ?
2. We have our public domain: xyz.ac.in . Should I use the same for internal DNS or I should use something like xyz.internal as mentioned above ?
Please comment on my ideas and tell me the best practices while using DNS in Workgroup environment. Also tell me one important thing about DNS Name.
Regards

As you are advising to use "xyz.internal", means that "." can be used in DNS Naming even when we are NOT installing it in Active Directory environment and we are using Workgroup environment. Am I getting right ? Please clarify.

I am confused.
If I use "xyz.internal" then FQDN of a PC1 will be: PC1.xyz.internalI
If I use "internal.xyz.ac".in then FQDN of PC1 will be: PC1.internal.xyz.ac.in
Please clarify which is better and what is your mean by this statement:
