Kevin,

Still not working. I used the delegation method. When I
look at ipconfig/displaydns this is what's shown:
Record Name...www.frazierschooldistrict.org
CNAME...frazierschooldistrict.org

The other entries all show a host record instead of a
CNAME though. Our domain is frazierschooldistrict.org and
the web site is hosted outside as
www.frazierschooldistrict.org

The authoritive dns server I used in the delegation was
NS164.PAIR.COM

Thanks for the help, I'll paste the string below.


Hi,

Try this method: In your local forward lookup zone for
domain.com create a
new Delegation named "www" and point it to the Public
Authoritative DNS
servers, You must use the authoritative not just an
external DNS.
Run ipconfig /flushdns

Which did you try, either should work I prefer the
delegation because it
lets the authoritave DNS resolve it.
Can you tell me what the domain name is?

If you run ipconfig /displaydns is the www.domain.com
cached with the
correct IP address?

Does the name resolve? At a command prompt run nslookup. Then type www.frazierschooldistrict.org and press enter. Does it resolve to the external IP
address? If not, verify what default server NSLOOKUP is pointing and then verify that this server has the www record.

Thank you,
Mike Johnston

Never mind. I deleted the delegation record, added host
record "www" pointing to the outside IP, flushed dns and
it works fine.

Thanks very much for your help.

Ahh yes, this would be one of the few cases a delegation would not work
since the www record is a CNAME. Instead of getting a reply of an IP address
it got a reply for a name which requires another lookup.
In your case if this is your AD domain name also, the name exists on your
DNS server. Unfortunately the name would point to the IP(s) of your DC(s)
The "A" host record would be your best choice in this case due to the DC's
behavior of creating these host for all their IPs. Be aware that your ISP
could change the IP of the website and it could stop working, if that
happens just edit the record and change it to the new IP.
