Can I create DNS records for some hosts, delegate other queries in the same domain to another DNS server?

  • 772

I have an internal DNS server. I've added a custom record for a domain name that is public. I want to add local records but keep the public domain name resolved. For instance : foo.bar.com = wan ip -> SAT -> local server

I've added a zone bar.com and a custom record : gum.bar.com = lan ip -> local server

BUT I need to delegate other records, that means foo.bar.com should be left to the public DNS server. I saw the delegation option for a zone, I put my IPS DNS server, it works nice for a specific zone, like foo.bar must be resolved by the isp 's DNS. Now If I want to delegate a wildcart, it ain't work. You get I want to override the DNS server : resolve local names (the one you have records for) but other domain names mut be resolved by another server.

How can I achieve that, using a wildcard for a given zone ? Thanks mates

    Delete your "bar.com" zone from your W2K3 DNS server. Create a zone "gum.bar.com", and create a blank host record in that zone pointing to the LAN IP of the local server. Problem solved. >smile<

    The W2K3 DNS server can't be simultaneously authoritative for a domain while forwarding queries that it can't resolve to another DNS server. It's just a limitation of the product. Working around it, per the above, is how we've always handled it.
