We are a small orginization running Small Business Server 2000 using an Active Directory Domain. We also run a web Server that is not on the domain but in a work group. We run 3 web sites on the one web server with three distinct IP addresses bound to one external nic. We have active directory integrated DNS running on the Small Business Server.
Our Web server has two nics one is the external with 3 static public IPs and the other is internal which has a valid static internal network IP. We have configured the external nic to not register DNS and it uses our ISP’s servers to resolve names.
Our problem lies in the fact that we seem to totally loose contact with our web server’s external addresses once every couple of days. We then have to run the command line utility “ipconfig/registerdns”. It is very sporadic, yet when we loose contact with our web server, it won’t even let us in using terminal services with a specific external IP address. What we do is terminal into our Domain Controller and then terminal using a client on the DC to get to the internal nic on the web server. We then register DNS and then we can see it again.
Help!
