DNS and Firewall

by maharajv . Updated 23 years, 3 months ago

I have a DNS issue. I have three DNS Servers, all Win2k with NO AD. Currently my primary DNS server machine is sitting in the DMZ, and I have two other internal DNS servers (Secondary) that are residing within the LAN. The DMZ DNS server is being NATed to a 196. address to the WWW, but within the DMZ it has an IP in te 172 range. Now this is the problem. When you startup DNS on the DMZ DNS server, it registers both its IP Adress’ to itself and this is replicated to the internal boxes. The problem exists in that the DNS hints contain lookup’s for both address and this is thus causing routing problems for mail and other services via the firewall. Is it possible for me to configure the server such that on startup/ restart it does not registerits internal 172 address but register ONLY the 196 address? Help…….
