DNS issue
Hi
I tried joining a server into a domain but the DNS error says that there are no SRV records for the domain in the DNS server. Further, when I do NSLOOKUP for the domain , it returns the External IP address of the website of the customer
The customer 's internal 'domain name' is the same as it's 'external domain name'.
Now, the DNS server queries the 'root hints' for the internal 'domain name' hence it returns the external IP address of the customer's registered domain name RATHER than it returns the internal ip address of its domain.
I've enabled the "Forwarder" in the DNS server>Properties>Forwarde
How can I do split DNS setup. That is, when I query the internal domain name, it returns the internal domain name instead of the external registered domain name????
The customer is on W2K server SP4
Thanks heaps

Appreciate your comment from fellow IT peer.
But, the issue above have been overlooked.
The issue is I cannot join any machine to the domain because during the process of making a client member of the domain, the DNS error prompts that it cannot locate the 'domain.com' internal because there are no SRV records existed but there is. Further, when I do NSLOOKUP it resolve the internal domain name BUT with external ip address. Note, the customer has domain.com as its internal domain name and its external domain name.
The only thing that I have not seen is a host record of WWW which points to the registered domain. name. If I split the DNS, then at least any DNS query that cannot be resolved internally will be forward to the ISP DNS server. I'll try this tomorrow.
