I have a domain, domain.dom. There is a child domain, child.domain.dom, with a DC called childdc.
when pinging childdc from within child domain, it resolves to childdc.child.domain.dom.
If I ping it from a computer in the parent domain, it resolves to childdc.domain.dom. I can still ping the fqdn childdc.child.domain.dom, but pinging the hostname childdc just resolves the childdc.domain.dom
My question, is why does it behave this way? Nowhere in DNS do I have a host configured with the name childdc.domain.dom, yet somehow that is what gets resolved.
I think this may be related to an issue I’m having where some parent domain servers cannot resolve the fqdn of childdc.child.domain.dom, but they can resolve childdc.domain.dom .
Any ideas?
Thanks!
