Our lead DNS administrator sent out this message and as the Program Manager I am trying to understand the rationale for the the change.
For those of you who host your own internal DNS servers in your lab/dev/test environments:
-If you’re using ‘root hints’ that point to the IP’s listed below, you need to reconfigure them instead as ‘forwarders’ to the same
-Those teams who host their own DNS should understand what this means
Here was the reason and I am looking for some deeper info to understand why...?
Impact
Any private DNS servers/domains (non IT supported/managed)) using root hints to caching servers will have the possibility of resolving split brain records to the Internet IP address rather than the Internal IP address
