RE: [ActiveDir] [Activator] DNS - Stub Zones -vs- Referral Zones

No, I was under the impression that a stub zone dynamically updates NS/SOA. Guess not. My bad.   We were just looking for a way to not have to manually update NS for the sub zones.   Thanks, J         From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 2:30 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] DNS - Stub Zones -vs- Referral Zones   Why do you think it is necessary to kill the sub zones? Because you don’t want to worry about NS records changes? Well, you will have to worry about that in stub configurations, too. If your NS/SOA changes, you will still have to update the stub zone accordingly.   Did I misunderstand your question?   Deji   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 10:14 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] DNS - Stub Zones -vs- Referral Zones   Hey everyone, DNS question:   On our Forest Root DNS servers, in the root DNS forward lookup zone, there are sub zones (I think they are Referral Zones) for each sub-domain.   In these sub-zones there are NS records for the DNS servers in each sub domain.   For example:   Root.company.com      _msdcs      _site      _tcp      _udp      Subdomain1 (contains NS record: dc.subdomain1.rootdomain.com)      Subdomain2 (contains NS record: dc.subdomain2.rootdomain.com)   Would we be better off killing the sub zones and going with stub zones, if possible? Basically, we want to avoid manually changing the NS records. I think stubs are dynamically updated, could be wrong.   Thanks, Jbl This e-mail, and any attachment, is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
