Zone issues Bind and Windows 2003

[fenstrat]

We currently are using Bind as our external DNS servers. We are using seperate zones to control which DNS records are used. For example, if you are coming from an outside address you use an external zone. If you are coming from an inside address you use the internal zone. Is it possible to do this with windows 2003. How do you specify an ip range that the zone is responsible for?

Thanks

Don't know if this will answer your question, but here goes...

You would usually set up two DNS servers. One in your DMZ, and one in your production network. The DMZ server would have a small number of hosts listed in the zone, while the internal server would have all the systems. The DMZ server would also be listing public addresses for each host, while the internal server would be handing out all the un-NATted addresses.

But it sounds like you are trying to run this on a single server, and to have the BIND implementation hand out different addresses based on the network that the request came from. As far as I know, 2003 DNS doesn't support that, although the "subnet prioritization" feature does something similar.
