Hello all,
Windows Server 2003 DNS
We have a Conditional Forwarder set for eg. abcd.net with three external Name server entries.
It has come about we need one particular server (smtp.abcd.net) to resolve and take a different route internally through some firewalls and NAT rather than go out onto the internet and come back in.
Currently smtp.abcd.net resolves to 67.x.x.x which is an external address. We want just that address to resolve to an internal 192.168.x.x address.
I thought I could create a Forward Lookup Zone called abcd.net and add a 'A' record for smtp.abcd.net - not so, it won't let me. Also, that would make our DNS authoritative for that zone and all other queries would fail.
So what we need is, smtp.abcd.net resolves to internal address and all other abcd.net queries to use the 3 NS servers named on the conditional forwarder.
Thank you for your help, John
