Private IP registered in DNS

[Simon]

We have a remote DC with a private address and need to allow replication.

We have configured our servers to use the public address of the router at
the remote site and everything works correctly until the remote server
registers its private address in AD DNS.

How do we prevent our servers attempting to contact the remote server on its
private address?

The best way would be a tunnel or VPN between your two sites. Then
logically, they can be part of the same network, and your remote site
can register its IP address with DNS without problems.

Hi Chris, the way I read it they do not have a multi-homed server. It
seems to me that this is a classic case for a small VPN.

Cheers,
