Changing domain name and active directory

Hi Guys,

We have an issue where our domain name is iradio then we have an A record 79.140.211.194 that resolves to mail.iradio.ie so in the office i would love to be able to resolve 192.168.20.1 to mail.iradio.ie but because the domain name is called iradio it wont work when i put an entry into DNS

Is it possible to change a domain locally and active directory? so i cant get it to resolve to 192.168.20.1 to mail.iradio.ie ?

the active directory domain name is iradio

If your internal domain name is iradio.ie you should just be able to create an internal DNS record pointing to the lan address of your mail server.

i still seem to be getting this, i tried creating a zone called iradio.ie

That looks correct with the new zone setup, but I'm uncertain how the single label domain name might affect things (they really should not be used). Make sure the client is only configured to use the internal DNS servers, and clear the cache on the DNS server.
