Hi
I am a little confused on how to configure my DNS server which I have
installed on a ship, which is set up as its own forest.
The problem is I have several ways to connect to the internet and each
connection has it own DNS which I have added as a DNS forwarder to my server.
We sometimes have problems with clients resolving names and to correct it we
simply change the ranking of the forwarders, which don’t make sense to me as
I thought if the first forwarder failed to obtain an answer it would go to
the next forwarder. Also when setting up my forwarders I selected Do Not Use
Recursion so I wouldn’t use Root Hints. Now I am wondering if I shouldn’t use
Forwarders and just change my Root Hints to show only DNS servers I will be
connecting to. Other than being able to use Conditional Forwarding, can
someone tell me if there is an advantage/disadvantage to using Forwarders
verses modifying the Root hints?
