Hello EE Ninjas,
Primer: DNS issue. Windows mixed domain (nbsrealtors.com) with both 2003 and 2008 servers. Currently four DNS servers in three different subnets. Most recently added dns server is 2008, all others 2003. Â
So, I've been experiencing occasional odd little DNS issues on my network ever since starting at my company three years ago. Â Example, every now and then a client will not be able to resolve a server name. Â When that happens, a flushdns or reboot seems to correct the issue. Â Occasionally, it doesn't and I add the server info to the clients hosts file. These issues have been rare and never enough to warrant a deep investigation of the issue - just didn't have the time.
The issue has come to a head with the addition of a secondary dns server in our primary home office subnet. Â Name resolution works fine, but when adding new computers to the domain, I am receiving an RPC error. Â In troubleshooting this issue, I have run a DCDIAG DNSTEST and am receiving the following error info withing the results.
The origininal dns server and primary domain controller for the domain is pdxad at 10.1.1.1
The recently added 2008 dns server and secondary dc is pdxdc at 10.1.1.11
The dns forwarding servers from our ISP are 209.63.0.6 and 204.130.255.3, neither of which are pingable.
So, my questions - Â Is it normal for DNS to attempt to resolve records like
_kerberos._tcp.dc._msdcs.corp.nbsrealtors.com
_ldap._tcp.corp.nbsrealtors.com
_kerberos._tcp.corp.nbsrealtors.com
etc.
...against the forwarding server addresses, as seems to be happening below? Â If this is normal, are the failures in the below report anything to be concerned about? Â If they are not normal, is there some way to istruct DNS to not attempt resolving these local records against those forwarding domains?
Thanks for any insight on this. Â Much appreciated!
Ken
