GTM: Difference Between Zone and Zone-Runner in 11.5.1 Version
Hi Brad,
So,just cross-checking what I learnt :
1.We are saying :If we configure GTM not an authoritative DNS server while Windows DNS server is, we just need to create a Zone( Not through the Zone runner as per my existing configuration to pass the request to windows server ist time).
2. a) But if we want to use the GTM as the primary authoritative-server(disabling Windows server)for now, than we need to delete the xyz.com zone created which was inturn holding the External_LDNS(Windows Server) and create a Zone list named xyz.com using the Zone-runner.
b) Keeping the Listener IP as the self-IP of the GTM. c) While creating the xyz.com through zone list under zone runner, we need to create "A" record with the same IP address of the listener, correct ? b)Going to resource-record type: we created the below:(A, NS, SOA records)
JDA-DAL-GTM2.jdadelivers.com ( A) entry IP-ADDRESS xyz.com (NS) ENTRY with Nameserver named as JDA-DAL-GTM2.jdadelivers.com. xyz.com (SOA) ENTRY with Master-Server named as JDA-DAL-GTM2.jdadelivers.com.
c) As an A record under for JDA-DAL-GTM2.jdadelivers.com ,we assigned the same Self-IP/listener IP of the GTM. d) Once all done, we will just create manual entries as A records under it, for example: test.xyz.com A record: 1.1.1.1, correct ?
Now how to test this:
- I have dig installed into my windows 7 PC.
- So, I wanted to test both the scenarios through DIG. How will I do that.
Whether running dig to listener IP from my windows system and doing a tcpdump into the GTM with my Windows 7 IP alongwith port 53 ? Will that help ?
Kindly assist in reviewing this concept which I am cross-checking as that will help me in understanding the whole flow.
Thanks and Regards PZ
