I have a total of 5 DNS servers spanning 5 sites connected
via point to point VPN. All servers are set to replicate
DNS via AD. 2 of the servers are able to replicate records
in from the other servers, but records created on them do
not replicate out to the other boxes. Any ideas?
From what you're saying I'm assuming you mean the zones are AD Integrated.
Are all DCs in each site in the same domain? Do you have Sites configured in
AD for each location?
If so, and you're saying that when you create/modify/delete a record on one
server, another server will see the change/modified/deleted record, but the
other 3 do not?
Then it appears to come down to an AD replication issue and not DNS. This
can also depend on your replication topology. Are all DCs (assuming they are
all in the same domain, and you have Sites configured, then replication will
depend on your Site Connectors' schedule and frequency set in their
properties.
If they are in different domains and this is Windows 2000, then you will not
see the change. If its Windows 2003, and the zone is replicated to all
domains in the forest then you should see them, but then it comes back to
replication topology and schedule.
Maybe its simply that the VPN mesh (static routes between the VPN boxes)
aren't set to directly communicate to each other. How do you have your VPN
infrastructure configured? In a mesh? In a hub and spoke? If hub and spoke,
who is the central office?
