Hi All,
I've setup a 2012 domain (robot.net) and have my DNS Servers forwarding queries to our ISP Provided DNS. I have also setup a DNS zone for another external domain we manage - we'll call this 123.com.
While on a workstation in robot.net If i try to access a host entry in 123.com that has an A record all is well. If I try to access something that does NOT have an A record in my 123.com zone it doesn't work. When i do an nslookup for 123.com for example, i get a non authoritative answer of 123.com.robot.net
It's appending the dns suffix of robot.net to anything it doesn't know for some reason, i've setup this exact environment with server 2008, and didn't have this issue, this is another instance just running server 2012 and I'm at a loss for what's changed in DNS.
