    Dns delegation vs Conditional forwarding

    Hello, what is the difference between these 2 since they both enable name resolution for the different domain.

    Thank you

    Re: Dns delegation vs Conditional forwarding

    In addition to the benefits of forwarders, conditional forwarding allows for more specific name resolution for off-site and internal domains. Conditional forwarding can benefit internal name resolution by configuring DNS servers with specific forwarders for internal domain names.

    Re: Dns delegation vs Conditional forwarding

    Thank you just as an example if I have test.com and a subdomain hosted on a another server north.test.com

    In this case I have 2 options for name resolution in the other domain...

    1 Use conditional forwarding for the subdomain pointing to the authoritative dns server

    2 Delegate the sub domain on the test.com DC

    For the end client will I not accomplish the same thing ?

    Thank you

    Re: Dns delegation vs Conditional forwarding

    Hello,

    so what if we compare them to a stub zone

    Zone delegation is used when you have a secondary dns server zone north.test.com and you delegate the zone on test.com so that it can point to the north.test.com dns servers

    Conditional forwarding is used when you have 2 different domain or forests trees and you configure conditional forwarding from one sub domain to another to make dns resolution faster and causing less traffic.

    Stub zone can also be used instead of conditional forwarding but what are the differences, I know that stub zone will create a zone with the authoritative SOA, NS and their IPs so that agian like conditional forwarding will point to the right dns server

    Pls correct me if I am wrong

    Thank you again
