Using Forwarders on a Windows Server
I have always been told to use your ISP's DNSs as forwarders on Windows DNS Servers. Today there was a EventID 5504 in the event log and on of the articles from Microsoft says to turn off forwarders. That =kind of shocked me. So should you or should you not use forwarders on a Windows DNS Server?
I was surprised removing them the internet still worked. What does it use for resolution if it isn't forwarders?
