| I install a new WIn2k server, as a Domain controller with their DNS and AD correctly implemented (SRV, etc) .....
the ip configuration of this server is:
ip address> 192.168.0.2
subnet> 255.255.255.0
gtway> 192.168.0.1
dns 192.168.0.2
i make some testing. everything works ok. i test internet navigation and works nice. how is possible that the dns server resolve ip address of the addresses (ie: www.yahoo.com) if don't have forwarders configured????
everything works ok... now i configure the correct ISP ip address on the forwarders tab but i have this doubt...
any explanation will be appreciated.... | |

If your DNS server is not a root server, then it contains a file containing root hints that the it uses for external name resoulution.

the dns server is a active directory integrated NEW server with NOTHONG configured.... | |

When you install the win2k server at the point where it asks you, if you want to configure the server as controllers. (installing AD). It telss you that AD requires DNS, if you don't have one, you configure the server with AD DNS. At this point, it asks you if you would like to make this DNS server as root DNS. If you repond to NO, it will install it with your FQDN. It sort of acts like a cache server and use th root hint server address that is already included with win2k server and resolves the name.
Go to the DNS manager, there is a place talk about the root hint servers. I don't remember it by heart, but it is there.
Good luck. | |

i know all the stuff regarding the dns installation. after run dcpromo and start the ad wizard, the wizard need a DNS for AD deployment. the ad wizard install and configure dns with appropiate srv records, etc. this work nice....... but i never receive any question by the wizard regarding root hint server address or anything......only domain dns name and netbios name are asqued.... | |

It does not ask you for the root hints, it does that by default without you doing anything... | |

Unless you put a . at the end of the domain name making it a root. For example microsoft.com. Also if you are connected to the internet, the server you are setting up will query other DNS servers to determine if its a root server or not. If it finds other DNS servers then it will prime the root hints with internet roots. If not then it will add the local server to the file. | |

I though a non-root server was already established... | |
