Hi,

I have a Windows 2003 domain within the NHS (uk). My server is part of the
<nhs.uk> domain. For this example my domain will be called <domain1.nhs.uk>.
The problem I'm having is as follows:

I have installed and setup DNS on <DC1.domain1.nhs.uk>. I have set up
Forwarders so any name it can't resolved gets sent to our ISP. However, what
I'm finding is *any* address I send which ends with <nhs.uk> (other than
domain1.nhs.uk) is trying to be resolved by my DNS server. It's not going
any further and therefore is failing.

What I basically need to do is set up my DNS so anything in the domain
<domain1.nhs.uk> is resolved by my DNS servers, but *everything* else is
forwarded to my ISP.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Curtis.

Hello Curtis,

What is the name of the Forward Lookup Zone on your DNS server? It
sounds like your zone could be called "nhs.uk" and "domain1" is a
sub-domain of nhs.uk. Your Forward Lookup Zone should be called
"domain1.nhs.uk", can you confirm this.
 
Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. I may have jumped the gun a bit with regards to this.
It seems to be specifically emails sent from Exchange 2003 which are having
problems and not a DNS problem in general.

I'll make a post in the Exchange group.

Thanks again for your input. I have checked and my DNS is set up as per your
suggestions.

Regards,

Curtis.
