Real World Windows 2000 and DNS Problem

by donnyr10 . Updated 25 years, 3 months ago

Hi Guys
Were in the planning stages of Migrating our WIndows NT Domain
to Windows 2000, I have a few questions I want to slog out with you
Gurus her on the list.

FIrst it may be easier to give you some Background on the Network
12 NT Domain Controllers
200 Clients PC (95/98)
50 Clients Mac
Proxy 2.0 on one BDC, gateway is the Router IP to the Internet…
Name Resolution – WINS no DNS.

Ok My question is this..
I know that we need DNS for Resolution in 2000
I am proposing a schemes like company.local for Internal DNS
I’ll convert it to AD Integrated to take advantage of Multi Master
replication, I’ll make sure and configure DynamiC updates
and DHCP to integrate with DNS, to update clients
(ALL PC Clients will be WIndows 2000)

How do we get 2000 DNS and Proxy to play together ??
Do I set up Proxy on a Member server ? where it doesen;t
have any Zone Information ?? My fear is that I don’t want resolution
of External URLS such as www.cnn.com, to be handled by the Internal
DNS Servers of company.local, but rather by the proxy 2.0 Server ..

Under NT it was simple, all clients was given the IP address of the
Internal Proxy Server as the Router (gateway), and therefore when
clients opened up IE , all requests were passed to the proxy,
has anyone had experience with setting up 2000 and DNS and proxy ??
I just want to get some opinions…

Thanks Much Guys in advance for the future dialogue…..

Don
