DNS Issues With Home Domain

[bryan.travis]

Hey Guys,

to explain a bit about my situation, i have a home network that i have
configured for studying purposes, I own my own business. I have a
registered domain, that has an active site up and running through my
registrar.

Anyway I have been configuring my home network, and I think I have been
having DNS problems, without realizing it. I have come to the
conclusion that my home domain has interfered with my domain at the
registrar and has brought down my site, this is quite a serious issue.
I have figured this out by powering off my DC.
anyway on my providers site I am able to locate (A Records) and Name
Server Addresses. is there anyway for me to configure my home Domain
so that it is fully functional, and still be able to host my site
through my registrar? I have tried modifying my A Records and
Forwarders in Group Policy, but I am unsure of the correct procedure.
Also I would like to be able to maintain Internet Connectivity on these
machines as well.

Is there anyone that may be able to help me out with this? and give me
the proper steps and things I should be editing within my home DNS?

Thanks

Bryan

Your home domain should not be listed on any public DNS servers.

Internet domain = mydomain.com. Either name your AD domain
ADdomain.mycompany.com or mycompany.loc.

Then set up a DNS server for your AD domain that forwards requests not in
the AD zone to your ISP's DNS server.
