LAN DNS Settings

Hi all

On our router, we have the LAN DNS IP Address settings set to our server as the primary DNS and our ISP for the secondary.

Is this the best setup for the LAN DNS or is it ideal for it to point elsewhere?

depends on if you have a DNS reliant setup internally. If you are just running a File server and thats all then it don't matter but if you have a web server running and your web guys use it for testing then i would have a fully working DNS setup.

Having a secondary DNS on the router is fine and acceptable.
On your router primary and secondary DNS IP Address should be public dns and your local desktop dns IP Address pointing to you local dns server.
