DNS Server IP Configuration Question

[Guest]

Should the network IP configuration of a DNS server (the machine not the
service) have its own address listed under DNS servers? Should it have any
outside DNS servers listed?

Should the network IP configuration of a DNS server (the machine not

service) have its own address listed under DNS servers?

If you are talking about an AD DNS server yes.

Should it have any
outside DNS servers listed?

No.
