Forward Internal DNS queries to Infoblox

Forward Internal DNS queries to Infoblox

I have created Delegated Zone in Infoblox

with its NS servers pointing to otherdomain.com

everything works fine.

Now from Internal DNS, I want to create the same Delegated Zone

with its NS Servers pointing to otherdomain.com

However from Internal DNS query to a.mydomain.org does not resolve, I believe firewall team blocks that.

I would like to forward internal DNS queries to Infoblox since there is already the same Delegated Zone a.mydomain.org

How can I do that?

Thank you

Infoblox is an appliance used for DNS and other services
Do you think forwarding to the IP address of infoblox will resolve the issue?

that is how dns works.. it keeps using the forwarders until it gets a valid response or it times out.

I know, if instead of Infoblox, it was Windows DNS, then I can agree. However it is an appliance that has many services.
I believe from with DNS service in Infoblox, there should be something you can configure.
Infoblox itself has External and Internal DNS zone. I thought instead of configuring the Delegating Zone inside Windows DNS, I can just create it in Infoblox Internal DNS zone

I have the IP address and hostname of the Infoblox.
infoblox.mydomain.org 10.10.10.10
I can ping by name and IP

how do I add Forwader to Windows DNS, since mydomain.org is already a zone hosted in my windows DNS ?
is there a way in Windows DNS to forward DNS request to a host ?

Thank you

For some reason, conditional forwarder started working.
