Hi Guys,
At work we've got a 2008 R2 server, which is running an HP Server in an ESXi Virtual Machine. It controls the domain, DNS, DHCP and Exchange server. We've also got the terminal server virtualised on the same server.
However, I'm not too sure on it's DNS configuration as I was looking at the settings that were configured by my colleagues.
Obviously the server needs a static IP Address, but should the DNS point to the server itself?
How should the server resolve anything 'external to the network'. I've seen 'forwarder' style settings, but want to understand them a bit first.
Any related reading would be appreciated.
Many Thanks
