Reverse DNS Lookup Zones

  • 772

I have two domain controllers that act as a Primary and Secondary DNS servers. Server2 is the primary and server1 is the secondary. If I open dnsmgnt on server2 and look at the Reverse Lookup Zones, it looks like this:
Test 1

If I look at the Reverse Lookup Zones on server1, it looks like this:
Test2
What is causing this to be different? On a side note, does every domain controller with a global catalog need to have itself as a DNS server?

    That's Advanced mode for that MMC snapin, in the View menu - shows the actual zone name instead of the "easier" version.

    Not sure exactly what you mean by "have itself as a DNS server" - can you expand on that (and maybe make it a separate question)?
