Do I add a Zone?

[Guest]

Hello al

First of all, excuse the double posting, but I thought both the DNS
and Exchange newsgroup should have a look at this question

I've got a free DNS service (dyndns.org). This allows me to name
both my website (http://www.mydomain.dyndns.org) and my FTP
site (http://ftp.mydomain.dyndns.org). Along with this free service,
I've added a email forwarding component. This will allow us to have
email sent to (e-mail address removed) forwarded to our internal
Exchange server

My AD/DNS name is mydomain.prv (prv=private). Will I have to make
any notations in DNS (adding the dyndns zone) so both internal and
external clients will excess to both the website and FTPsite? Also,
what if any notations do I need to make for our email forwarding service

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hello all

and Exchange newsgroup should have a look at this question.

If you don't get any help you might want to re-state the specifics
of your question, then follow it with a clear statement of the steps
you have taken.

At this point your message bears an unfortunate resemblance to your
email alias. <GRIN>

Seriously, many of us have set up DNS internally and externally and
even mixed in some sort of dynamic public registration or email forwarding
but it isn't clear what you have done so far or what specific problems
you still have.

No. Don't multi-post. Cross-post (if appropriate).

Only you know. You've deliberately hidden the domain names from
us, and thus hidden from us the data that are required to answer
that question. You've thus prevented anyone from being able to
help you.

First of all, thanks for the reply! But I don't understand why you can't make heads-or-tails of
my questions? It makes perfect sense to me....<grin> Secondly, let me see if I can clarify my
situation.

I'm trying to circumvent a possible problem. Or maybe it'll work the as it did before.

When the Enterprise was a Workgroup as opposed to a Active Directory domain, you'd
log into our FTPsite by using the free DNS service name ftp://ftp.mydomain.dyndns.org.
You'd use the same service, http://www.mydomain.dyndns.org to gain access to our
Website.

I was just wondering whether the change to AD domain (mydomain.prv) have any affect
on how you'd gain access to these services. In other words, as I mentioned in my initial
post: Will I have to make any notations in my AD domain about my free DNS service?

I don't know if I've clarified matters any, but I hope!

Thanks again!

I understood perfectly, you need to add two zones:
ftp.mydomain.dyndns.org
www.mydomain.dyndns.org

Then in each of these zone put one blank host with the IP of your Website
and ftp site. Then you can access it internally without the name interfering
with other dyndns.org sites.

Hope This Helps
============================

Just to add, since running Exchange internally, make sure (if you haven't
already done so) to set your Recipient Policy to: @mydomain.dyndns.org so
it's authorative to receive mail on that domain. It doesn't matter what
private internal AD DNS name the Exchange server is under, just that the
Recipient policy dicatates what domain it;s authorative to receive mail
under.

Under DynDNS you'll also want to create a mail record, call it mail, then
create an MX record and point it to mail.mydomain.dyndns.org

If you've already done that part, disregard my explanation.

Thanks a lot for the reply Kevin.

What I understand of DNS, your reply is what I thought.
I wasn't sure how it would be noted.

Thanks again!
