In the article #300202 called: "HOW TO: Configure DNS for
Internet Access in Windows 2000," makes some reference
on "To Configure DNS Behind a Firewall" but doesn't give
any help or configure setting on that. I need to
configure a DNS behind a third party software
Proxy/Firewall. Our network environment is: W2k Server w/
AD servicing 10 pc's w/ Win XP Pro.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Juan

The DNS config is the same, it's opening firewall ports 53 for TCP and
UDP that's different. Open in the direction needed of course.

Given your network size, I wouldn't advise that you host your own public DNS
in-house. It's complicated to a degree and requires another DNS server....

Have your ISP host your domain's public DNS and just run your own AD DNS for
internal use. Set up forwarders in your AD-integrated DNS server to point to
several public DNS servers (you need to remove the "." -- root zone --
first). Then make sure that all servers & workstations specify *only* the
internal DNS server's IP address in their TCP/IP settings.
