[adding an A record for ed.ac.uk.]


If your AD realm is also called ed.ac.uk then adding an A record will
definitely affect things.

Which is exactly the opposite of what our AD guys said, but not with
such great conviction.  :-)

Off the top of my head the two most recent issues we've had.

1. If you don't have a domain controller A record at your AD realm name, you'll experience sporadic timeouts and slowness if you ever want to roll out DFS, particularly if your domain members include non-Microsoft clients such as Macs

2. If you put something else at that place, you'll see SMB connection attempts and if they fail but port 80 is open, you'll see Windows trying to do WebDAV requests (!) to it.

Both these and other issues make me wish we'd chosen a sub-domain for our AD realm when we migrated from NT4. But we had no way of knowing at the time :o(
