Hello,

Do add "forward only;" to this zone statement.

Is this name server available/visible to the Internet ?
-->  add "allow-query" statement to limit who can query for your internal
zone.

Kind regards,

Subject: forward question

We have a public DNS in our DMZ

- Some of the servers in the DMZ provide certain services to services on
the
inside.
- Currently, certain servers use the Internal AD DNS Servers for
resolution
on a internal DNS domain to provide the services via firewall rules.

I would like all DMZ clients to use the Public DNS and "forward" the
internal
DNS queries to the Internal AD DNS servers.

zone transfer to the Public DNS from Internal DNS is not an option..

*****************
zone "internal.zone" in {
          type forward;
          forwarders {
                  xxx.xxx.xxx.1;  // ad server 1
                  xxx.xxx.xxx.2; // ad server 2
                  };
};
*****************
Thx
CT



Marc,
Thanks for the reply..

The Internal AD DNS is not visible to the Internet
and does not do queries directly to the Internet.

The Public DNS does allow recursion for the subnets in the DMZ via acl.

the allow-query statement does not work in a forward zone
-----
checking named.conf
/etc/namedb/named.conf:72: option 'allow-query' is not allowed in 'forward' zone 'internal.zone'
 now running rndc reload
rndc: 'reload' failed: failure
----

From all the searching, it seems the forward statement should work..

ns.example.com = Public DNS
ns.internal.example.com = Internal DNS

successful dig.. - PTR also successful.
