dhcp for virtual machines
I have a question I have 3 esx hosts on 1 host I have a dc doing dns my router does dhcp
so I want my vm's to use the dc dns and all others use my router
what I do at the moment is give the vm a static dns 1st to my router and 2nd to my dc so over 1 they get out to the net and on 2nd they can do domain stuff as if I dont have the 2nd dns pointing to my dc I cannot join the vm's to the domain for instance
so how can I do this automatically

the dc is not on most of the time its on my vsphere lab I am getting in to wds
what is the dns inside vmware for if I could just use 2nd dns ie dc in the esx host that would mean only the vm's using the dc dns
wouldn't that work?
