Hey all,
This feels basic but I think I'm doing something wrong. Scenario:
I have a domain: lcps.k12.va.us that has several servers joined to this domain. example: sis.lcps.k12.va.us
this domain has its own DNS server (but only one).
I
have a 2nd domain: campus.lcps that holds all our users. This has
several DC's, all of which have conditional forwarders pointing to the
IP of the one DNS server on lcps.k12.va.us
There are times when the DNS server on lcps.k12.va.us goes down.
Some
DC's "keep" the DNS info and still route clients properly to servers
located on the lcps.k12.va.us domain; some immediately start to fail and
end up routing clients to the external IP of these servers.
What
am I missing? I've compared TCP/IP and DNS settings on these various
DC's and all seems ok. Alternatively, what should I be doing to better
keep the DNS of lcps.k12.va.us "up" without actually adding a second DC
for lcps.k12.va.us. Can/should I put the lcps.k12 zone as a primary on
one of my other campus.lcps DC's?
Thanks
