Thanks Glen, that makes sense. Now I have to work out how to set it all up. I have removed the old DNS server, active directory has also copied successfully.
The old server was hosting our website which has been moved across to the new sever; our domain name has an IP address of 195.74.121.34 so all requests for, say americaneuropean.com are forwarded to that address by our ISP. Can you explain to me Glen how does our server know that it need to pick up requests for this IP, and how does it associate 195.74.121.74 with 192.168.0.1:80 where the website actually sits. I have used my intuition and created a Host record in americaneuropean.com Zone with the IP address 195.74.121.74 but nothing seems to be happening. Also I had a look at the Event Viewer and there were zillions of entries such as this
'Registration of the DNS record '_kerberos._tcp.dc._msdcs.americaneuropean.com. 600 IN SRV 0 100 88 gri.americaneuropean.com.' failed with the following error:
DNS server not authoritative for zone. '
Any ideas Glen?
PS. You know you are the greatest <lol>
