| 857344 | 2010-02-11 19:26:00 | Hi guys, I need to create a DNS entry for our exchange servers external name pointing to the internal address. Let me explain We have an external DNS entry pointing to external address for OWA and iphone, which when the iphone is out and about uses on edge technology. When at work the device wants to jump onto the wifi, however because the server entry is the external DNS and address, it cant find it, because it is on the internal network. Is it possible to add a DNS address which does not add the FQDN to the end of the entry pointing to the internal exchange? When I add webmail.xxxxxx.xxx.co.nz with internal IP, it wants to add our domain.co.nz to the end... Ta |

Create a new Primary Zone and untick the option to Store Zone in Active Directry. Type in the Zone name/DNS name you want to access internally. Leave the Create a new file name as it is. (Should be your DNS with .dns on the end) Leave Do not allow Dynamic Updates. Done :) |

| 857347 | 2010-02-11 21:13:00 | Oops! Forgot one last setup. Once you have done all the above right-click on the new zone, which should now be listed under Forward Lookup Zones, and then add a New Host (A). Leave the Name box blank and put in the IP address of the server you want the DNS name to resolve to. |

| 857351 | 2010-02-12 01:56:00 | The only thing to be careful of is if your DNS is authoritative for your public domain and you add "local" A or CName records, it will propogate to other DNS servers. | inphinity (7274) | ||
