<div dir="ltr">Hi Renzo.<div>Firstly, please can we see your BIND configuration and have the actual AD domain name.</div><div><br></div><div>Secondly, BIND, or any other recursive DNS server, does not 'forward' to the root servers, unless you have configured it explicitly to do so, which would be a bad idea and not work anyway. It will recurse (paradoxically, perform non-recursive aka iterative queries) to the roots and other authoritative servers. It is an important distinction to be aware of.</div><div><br></div><div>Thirdly, I would not forward to AD DNS, unless the AD servers also recurse and can provide resolution for delegated names below the AD domain that are not hosted on the AD servers themselves. Personally I would use a stub or static-stub zone in BIND to refer to the AD domain.<br></div><div><br></div><div>In general, decide which DNS is going to do the resolving and make that the control point, fetching data from wherever it needs to (e.g. AD DNS) - using non-recursive queries - and using that data to construct answers for its clients.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope that helps.</div><div>Cheers, Greg</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 27 Jun 2024 at 12:02, Renzo Marengo <<a href="mailto:buckroger2011@gmail.com">buckroger2011@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>I have Active Directory domain ( '<a href="http://mydomain.it" target="_blank">mydomain.it</a>' ) with 8 domain controllers to manage 8000 computers.
