[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] Re: [FW-1] NG AI DNS settings
I made these changes to the existing NT box and it seemed to improve performance a bit. It was configured for the ISP's DNS on both cards. Actually the DNS server settings are global on NT, you can't set them differently for each card. It now properly resolves network names in the log file. I'm assuming that you meant the NIC connected to the internal network when you said the first card. Thanks for your help.

The dns server that is configured there SHOULD be able to provide ALL the dns responses that windows need. So in your case I would recommended configuring you internal dns server on the first NIC of your machine and this internal dns server should be able to forward dns requests to the Internet/your external dns servers and thus providing resolution for every requests it receives. The way dns resolution works on windows 2000 as per my understanding is as follows: - NIC's in win2000 will have a certain priority to them - windows will query the dns servers on each NIC in this specific order Example: NIC1 - dns1 - dns2 NIC2 - dns3 In this configuration, windows will first query dns1, if it DOES NOT receive any response, it will query dns2, if still does not receive a response it switches to dns3. Important here to understand is that, a 'I DO NOT KNOW' response from the queried dns server will stop any further queries to other dns servers on the same or other NIC's.

May be a dumb question but what is the correct DNS entries for the internal and external NIC. Should they both be blank, should the internal NIC point to my internal DNS servers and the external NIC to my ISP's DNS servers, does it even matter... Any help is greatly appreciated.
