We're currently prevaricating over putting in an A record for ed.ac.uk. Whilst my colleagues who manage active directory assure me that having an A record there - pointing at the content-managed web server that has difficulty handling arbitrary URLs - won't break anything I'm not going to try it except under very controlled conditions and after I've spoken to a lot of other people who do it already.
Is ed.ac.uk your Active Directory root as well? If so, my experience is that pointing it at anything but domain controllers will eventually lead you to issues.
It's not to say that this totally forbidden, but there is (was?) Microsoft best practices documents suggesting avoiding this configuration entirely when possible, although there were ways to mitigate most of the negative side effects.
Obviously if you can run a split DNS environment this is less of a factor. -- Dave Warren http://www.hireahit.com/ http://ca.linkedin.com/in/davejwarren _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
