Setting up External and Internal DNS

by quintar51 . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

Hi,

I have a registered domain name, ‘mydomain.com’

I want to configure an external DNS, with the zone ‘mydomain.com’, which will reside on a DMZ.

I also want to configure an internal DNS server, with the zone ‘internal.mydomain.com’.

1) As far as my understanding of DNS, both servers should be root servers, as both are authoritative for their respected zones. However, When I set it up that way, I was unable to use forwarders to forward any queries to my ISP’s DNS servers.2) Also, Should My external DNS only have a record of my public address?

3) And should my internal server (with 2 NICs), have a record for the outside host and inside hosts?

4) One last thing, My internal DNS server, will have exchange server and ISA server running.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
