Lets assume that I have set DNS up correctly on the server (I am not sure I
have) would that mean that local requested for local computers are handled
locally and the DNS server passes requests for other domains out to my ISP
DNS servers ? if so where do I put the IP addresses for the ISP's DNS
servers ?
Also since MS's DNS server is dynamic what stops it advertising my internal
network to my ISP's DNS server ?
I thought that although I have a domain, I prefer that to live with my ISP
so I selected the ".local" option when I set up W2K server.
Sorry if I am talking garbage as I don't have full knowledge of this area.
