Is it possible to replicate reverse DNS zones?

  • 772

We migrated our DNS servers from Linux onto Windows 2003 AD-based. Is it possible to replicate the reverse zones? We have about 6 DNS servers and it would suck if I had to go into each server to add a PTR address. I've been adding new A records on a local DNS server and things have been working as expected. However, the reverse mapping doesn't propagate between DNS servers.

  1. Yes, You need to set the Reverse Lookup Zones to be Active Directory Integrated and choose a replication partition.

  2. Yes, this is possible. In your DNS server, you have to go into the DNS management console and either create the "Reverse Lookup Zone(s)" you need or right-click on the properties for that zone. You can set the replication parameters there.
