I'm need some guidance of how to setup W2k Server to host your own dns server
with DSL Static I.P.
Thanks
 
If you mean public DNS, then many of us would recommend you have your
Registrar host your public dns for free. Much easier and probably better
then hosting yourself. We can explain this if you would (for some reason)
rather host public dns yourself. Or maybe your talking about internal dns
for AD?
 
I would like to host public DNS by myself, so i don't
depend on other in case i need to change or updated.
I'm already register ex: test35.com
nameserver: ns1.test35.com & ns2.test35.com
Using Windows Base Platform, How do you create a PDC
Domain Controller without ADS install. Should i name my
computer ns1 and second computer name ns2
Thanks
 
One small note on updates. If you have your registrar host it, you can
still make any updates at will very easily so that should not dissuade you
from using a registrar. That said, if you still want to dedicate two DNS
servers for public dns, then I would not install AD. Just setup two servers
with NT, w2k, or w2k3 (or linux with BIND for that matter) - install DNS and
create a primary zone on one and a secondary zone on the other. Setup your
domain (nt or AD) inside your private network with no connection to dns
servers in the dmz (I assume you will have a firewall separating the public
and private networks.)
