Enkidu,
After applying DNS entry of Server A into Server B BINGO!!!!
I was able to pass thru' Network Credentials window.
I was wondering what type of config will this be:
In ServerA --- put DNS entry of Server B
In ServerB --- put DNS entry of Server A
Do I need forwarders (DNS Mgmt) then?
I guess you mean into the NIC DNSes. Glad it worked.
In order to decide what to define where, consider what is
going to happen a) when it is working and b) when one of the
DNS servers fails or goes down. If both servers are working
the clients can look up the necessary information and
register themselves in DNS in either of them, which then
propogate the information. It is therefore useful to have
them both defined in each client, but it doesn't matter in
which order.
A DNS server is also a DNS client, and therefore should have
both. When Server A comes up it might be beneficial if it
could do its login etc with the other DNS since its own DNS
may not be fully functional at that stage. Therefore it
might be best to put the other server *first* in the
server's NIC definitions. Same for the other server, as a
client.
As far as forwarders goes, they are used to forward request
to an external DNS for Internet access. If you want your
clients to access Internet sites, then you will need to
configure forwarders to point to some Internet DNS.
Alternatively you can let the DNS use 'root hints' to
recursively look up Internet addresses.
