DNS Zone Replication

Hello,

I've got a question about DNS-zone replication.
We have a domain consisting of 3 sites...
On 1 site we have a webserver in a DMZ and is only accessible for that site via the LAN. The other sites have to go through the internet.
This has something to do with the configuration of the VPN-router and the settings of the webserver.

on that site (webserver) we pointed the dns towards the webserver. No problem... everything works.
But I would like to change the DNS entries of the specific zone on the other sites.

It doens't help to disallow dynamic updates.
It doesn't help to disallow zonetransfers.

How can I configure the DNS-servers to have a zone that doesn't update or change when changing the entries on the other sites...

Simply put:
How do I have a zone that has local lan-ip's and on the other 2 DNS-servers I have the internet-ip's.

Thanx in advance.

Kindest Regards,


Stijn
 
Trying to understand this:
You have 3 DNS servers across 3 sites?
1 DNS server at the same site with the DMZ has an entry that points to an internal IP so that clients are pointed to the DMZ on an internal interface and therefore reach the webserver 'internally'.

The DMZ is also connected to a web facing interface that the other two sites access via the web as 'normal'.

Is that right?

And the problem you're having, somehow, is the the DNS servers are replicating records across the sites? Which then messes things up?
 
1)3 dns / AD on 3 sites ( 1 AD-DC + DNS on each site)
they are connected through VPN

2)1 dns points to the internal webserver in a DMZ in the same site. The other 2 DC's point to the same webserver via the internet. So this means that the same zone on the 3 sites have different A-reords on 2 sites. 1 DNS has internal ip's to resolve... the other 2 have to resolve them over the internet.

3)When I change an A-record it replicates automatic with the other DC's... All good for the other zone's, but I do not want that to happen for that one specific zone...
It doens't help to disallow dynamic updates.
It doesn't help to disallow zonetransfers.


Maybe it's simple, and I just have to take that zone out of Active directory. But I haven't tested it sofar.

Yep,

Thanx for the reply.
That was indeed the cause of the constant replication.
I needed to take it out of the AD.
Going to play a bit more with this...

Thanx,

Greatest Forum, best replies...
