Well it would be a good idea as long as no one thinks "crikey thats a great idea" and people start making corp.ad or corp.ads as their forest name ;-)
As I understand it, the forest names need to be unique DNS names. If you have two corp.local's, how would you do conditional forwarding and the like? What happens when a SRV record query is sent by a client who is possibly able to query SRV records for both forests? M@ On 7/21/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

We're on the same wave length :) I appreciate that .local can work but as you state, it's best to avoid names that can become obsolete if the company name changes. The proposal here is to use .nom and the company name is Nomura. ...and no, it will not be a single domain forest, but let's not go there please :) I've already spent months on that subject :/ Thanks for the comments and feedback. neil ________________________________

The TLD is the normally the last bit the in the string. So in the real world Internet examples of TLD's are .com,.edu etc plus the country codes such as .za for South Africa which is where I from. I always something like corp.local for the forest name. I assuming you are going to be building a single domain forest right? ________________________________

Are we referring to same thing? I refer to the suffix at the end of the DNS name - e.g. I refer to 'blob' in 'neil.blob'. I am not referring to the 'neil' part. Does your response still hold? neil ________________________________

I like the idea of using a completely non-standard TLD for my forest root so that if the company name changes etc it has no effect on the forest. It also enables you to split the internal DNS from the external DNS structure. If the internal DNS structure is ever published to the Internet it will simply be dropped. I always set mine up with non-standard TLD's and have never had any issues. ________________________________

E.g. xxxxx.nom The name will be used within a production environment - a separate forest will exist for testing and QA. I've always preferred to use standard TLDs in prod [so the name can be registered etc] and permit the non-standard TLD in test forests only. Any comments?
