Configuring DNS With Forwarder

If your installation must function in isolation from the enterprise DNS, yet have
access to machines outside the technical LAN, e.g., if you have an experimental
setup that must access a newsroom computer system, a useful alternative to
joining the enterprise domain is to establish an independently-rooted forest
with isolated DNS.

In this case, you need to configure a DNS forwarder as follows:

1. Select

Start | Programs | Administrative Tools | DNS

.

2. Select your Domain Controller, right-click and select

Properties

.

3. On the Forwarders tab, check

Enable forwarders

.

4. Type the IP address for the DNS Server where you want to forward and click

Add

.

5. Click

Apply

.

6. Close the window.
