Relocating Windows 2003 DNS in a VPN connected environment


hi,

 

we have 3 office, site site vpn. each office has it’s own server , each server provides dns office , links dns other offices. due configuration, member of vpn can browse offices.

 

we retiring server in 1 office. have relocated dns server new server , server (and office) can still browse other vpn connected sites. however, other 2 offices, can no longer browse office new server.

 

how configure dns on our other 2 offices permit browsing @ office new server?

thanks!

hi tracy,

the browsing feature netbios based. wins supports netbios name resolution across subnets, otherwise, routers block netbios traffic. therefore, browsing other subnets not possible without netbios name resolution, browser service relies on. when wins used, browser service 'pull' names finds in wins database assemble "browse list" (what see in neighborhood).

so if have wins installed, machines configured use wins servers? if not, add wins entries on machines, , in dhcp, which my article indicates on how configure dhcp wins options.
