How to properly configure DNS in Active Directory?

Question

Active Directory

There is a domain controller, DNS is naturally raised on it. It is this DNS that is registered on the PC of users. There is a router, DNS is also raised on it. DNS 127.0.0.1 is specified on the home controller (that is, he himself). Do I need a domain controller to use? Router DNS (there is a lot of things configured). How to do it right?

Answer 1

You have only a zone for the AD domain configured on the server. All other requests are sent to forwarders. Set the first forwarder to the address of your router. Everything should work.

Answer 2

crutches you fence my friend. everything must be on the same service. and here you have a part on the router ... a part on HELL. crap!

Answer 3

What do you mean "DNS is up on the router"? It seems to me that you have a simple router, and an external DNS is simply indicated on it, in the network connection parameters. If so, then exactly on the recommendation of Nikolai Savelyev , register a forwarder on your router, and that's it. Also check the "use root hints" checkbox - in case of problems with the dns specified on the router. If your router itself is a DNS server and stores any zones - you should do the same, plus add stub zones with your router address as an ns server, on the router, allow your controller to read the stored zones - this will allow you to dynamically store and update zones from the router on the controller, and will not additionally run to the router when accessing addresses from the zones stored on it.
