Thank you! &nbsp;Delegating the &quot;sub&quot; domain is working 100% :-)<br />
<br />
Is there a way to delegate the root of the domain to another DNS server, in other words, &quot;sub&quot; will point to a local IP on the network, while the root (all other permutations for the domain) will point to an external DNS server?

I'm not sure if I'm understanding your scenario.<br />
If you don't want a DNS server to know anything about a domain, then don't set up the domain as a zone. &nbsp;Information about the domain can still be resolved through forwarders or root hints if available. &nbsp;For example:<br />
- example.com is the public domain name used for ineternet presence<br />
- corp.example.com is the AD domain<br />
- on the internal DNS for the AD domain, there would be a zone for corp.example.com with all records. &nbsp;So a query for server.corp.example.com would be resolved using these records.<br />
- any queries for something like <a href="http://www.example.com" rel="ugc">www.example.com</a>&nbsp;would be resolved through recursion - the internal DNS doesn't have the zone set up so uses forwarders or root hints to try to resolve the name.

Thank you!<br />

I deleted the domain.com from DNS and added a zone sub.domain.com <br />
Domain.com is now being handled externally.

Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
Is it possible to redirect a sub-domain in Windows Server DNS to an external DNS server?<br />
<br />
Scenario:<br />
<br />
We have an internal DNS server on Windows Server 2008 R2.<br />
Our domain name is domain.com<br />
<br />
I need to redirect sub.domain.com to the ISP external DNS server as it is hosted externally, but the problem is that the public IP changes dynamically (external) for sub.domain.com &nbsp;<br />
Hence, by redirecting sub.domain.com to the ISP, they will update the IP for the record accordingly.<br />
<br />
Is this possible?

Redirect Sub-Domain to external DNS server

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 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
