Sounds good. &nbsp;I have done it in the past by adding a new zone and it works but the methods you have listed are what i want to use instead since i dont want to have to create new forward lookup zones each time i simply want to create a new dns record to point to an external website. &nbsp;Thanks.

Adding new dns entry to point to external web address

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
