I actually just started reading up on slit DNS, and the drawback *seems* as I have not yet finished doing the research , http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/You_Need_to_Create_a_Split_DNS.html "ISA Server Alert You must have two DNS servers in order for the split DNS infrastructure to work. You can't create the same zone twice on the same DNS server. The internal zone and the external zones must be located on different DNS servers. You can't do this with a single DNS Server!"
Now I dont know if this is ONLY when ISA is involved , or if they are referring to two DNS servers in one site, or two total DNS server (HQ and Remote office). I will post my findings (hopefully) when I have a resolution Jean-Paul Natola From: lmat...@path-solutions.com To: exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 16:37:12 +0300 Subject: RE: name resultion I am thinking of a split brain DNS.

Scenario; Remote office is connected to HQ via VPN, they open outlook or owa and it resolves to the internal IP of exchange, now the tunnel is broken for whatever reason , so now when they attempt to connect to exchange (with out the VPN tunnel in place) they obviously cannot. So is the solution as sample as ONLY using the the external IP in the remote offces, and what impact will this have on bandwidth?
