NimbostratusDNS forwarding for same domain name
Hi
We've setup 6 Wide IP names in the format "resource.domain.com". The domain is called "domain.com", so how can we setup our internal DNS server to forward request for just the wide IP names t...

NimbostratusI could, but I'm concerned that it would then get things stuck in a loop?
I'd have to add 'domain.com' as the name of the conditional forwarder which Microsoft say you can't/shouldn't do
"You cannot use a domain name in a conditional forwarder if the DNS server hosts a primary zone, secondary zone, or stub zone for that domain name. For example, if a DNS server is authoritative for the domain name corp.contoso.com (that is, it hosts the primary zone for that domain name), you cannot configure that DNS server with a conditional forwarder for corp.contoso.com."
as per http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754941.aspx
Thanks

- Right, I was thinking you could add just the name you want to forward, but it requires a domain name and that causes an error. Is setting your GTM as a regular forwarder an option? You could set up a forwarding cache on the GTM to resolve any queries that don't match the Wide IP name. This setup is the reverse of what we recommend, which is to have all queries hit GTM first.
