Domain Pointer

[mrdecrypter]

Hello,
I am trying to correctly configure DNS on a Win 2000 Domain. We have a server that is hosting a website. Its address is .144 My DNS server is .134 and my PDC is .136. In my forward lookup zones there are 3 HOST RR's that all point to my domain, one for each server. My problem is this: When someone visits the domain, DNS is resolving it to .134, because our win 2000 domain is the same name as our web domain. It needs to resolve as .144(The correct web server). When i delete the two other HOST RR's(.134, and .136) it appears to resolve correctly to .144. But about 15 minutes later DNS throws those two HOST RR's back in the list for some reason. I am only running one primary DNS so i dont understand how DNS is putting those RR's back into the forward zones. How do i correctly make the website resolve to .144, and keep it that way?

you can't delete that. AD needs dns. Why don't you create split dns or ask your ISP to host your external dns

You mean create a new zone? And this network isnt provided by an ISP. It is a government network.

You can use the same name for the internal domain and the external domain. However, this method is not recommended. It creates name resolution problems because it introduces DNS names that are not unique. This method requires additional configuration to enable optimized performance.

You need to read this as it will help you configure a sub-domain in DNS.
