Using Secondary Domain Controller for Secondary Internet

by dhuffine . Updated 18 years, 9 months ago

QUESTION 1:

Currently I am running 3 windows 2003 Domain Controllers, We will call them DC01, DC02, and DC03.

DC01 = DNS, Main authenication, etc.
DC02 = Backup for all but DNS related stuff
DC03 = Exchange 2003

Currently DC02 and DC03 look to DC01 for internet access via ISP-1.

What I would like to do is route DC02 to ISP-2 via DC01, so that depending on which DNS server is entered in the computer as Primary is what internet connection that person would get.

I.E DNS ip 1.1.1.1 = 3 meg internet ISP-1
OR DNS IP 1.1.1.2 = 5 meg Internet ISP-2

This way I can seperate via departments according to who needs more bandwidth.

Currently ISP-2 has no connection to any of our DC’s, but I will be working with the ISP to set that up in the next few days, I am just preparing ahead of time.

QUESTION 2:

Can anyone provide me good information on preparing and moving an exchange server (DC03) over to a new ISP. Our current ISP has given us a bulk of Dirty IP’s and our external email is blocked by about 3 major companies (AOL, Comcast, and Paid for Gmail accounts) Although gamil, verizon, and just about any other Email is not blocking us just those three.

And I mean, I am looking for a “Moving Exchange to new ISP for Dummies” type of thing, step by step walk throughs on what needs to be done.

I am new to all this and am the only person this company has, and I have a general idea of how this all works, I’ve just never done it before.
