Hi everybody,

I hope you guys will help me with this one. I am having
difficulties to setup correctly AD and DNS. OK, i have
install AD which works ok, but my problem is on DC i am
hosting a website. If i add www name server external ip,
it works ok, but when i do nslookup, i also see private
ip address. My question is if i install another external
dns server and leave AD one as internal DNS, how can i
redirect my website which is on DC? or any othere
suggestion?

Thank you.
 
Unless the DC is named "www" this shouldn't happen. Are there two records named "www" or is the "www" a cname for your
DC? If the "www" record is a cname that points to your DC, you will need to change the record from a cname to a host record
and point it to the IP address of the external interface of you web server.

Thank you,

Depending on how the nslookup command is being used (set type=ns or set
type=all), he may also be retrieving the LdapIpAddress.

Normally suggest not to host websites on a DC. Exposing the DC to an
untrusted network (the Internet). Same with the DNS server. Get a seaprate
DNS server at least, use that for the external public IPs, point all your
internal machines including the DC to the internal DNS and forward to the
external DNS or to your ISP's DNS. In the internal DNS, create a www record
and give it the internal IP so your inside users can get to the site. Port
remap 80 to the webserver, port remap 53 TCP/UDP to the "extrernal" DNS.
