I have an internal DNS server that resolves names, but would like to set it up to forward internet based traffic to another DNS server that my ISP hosts for me. How might i set up MS DNS server to do that?

Thanks Jeff

Jeff,

If using DHCP, just make the internal DNS server the 1st one, and the ISP's the second DNS server. This way, if the 1st server can't resolve, it automatically checks the second server for resolution.

I do that myself at where I work to solve a unique situation where a server appears as one name within the network, but as another outside.
