Join two parts of a single domain across a hardware VPN over Internet

-

hi,

i have 2 physically separate small (5 node) networks, wish run them 1 single network. have established hardware vpn tunnel using pair of linksys nat boxes between 2 lans.

i'm trying figure out dns settings etc..

i have w2k3server box on each lan (i created them on same lan , after adding ad second 1 moved physically second lan) ad "the same".

i want browse 1 lan node to other lan

i want internet traffic each lan go thru own gateway

i trust both lans (i not want create 2 separate domains , establish trust relationship.)

any suggestions?

 

thank in advance

hello k,

it seems you've taken care of major portions of setting up. assume if you've configured vpn tunnel in linksys boxes, automatically route internet traffic using own isp connection, unless changed default force use other end of tunnel such traffic. if no, you'll ok.

you not need 2 domains or forests. tunnel connect 2 subnets/offices seamlessly.

configuration:

lan1:

  • on dc , clients on lan1, point first dns address lan1's dc , second lan2's dc.
  • setup dhcp, , configure dhcp option 006 same dns addresses in same order.
  • install wins. configure dc point wins. configure dhcp option 044 use both wins server , lan2's wins server. configure dhcp option 046 "0x8"

lan2:

  • on dc , clients on lan2, point first dns address lans's dc and second lan1's dc.
  • setup dhcp, , configure dhcp option 006 same dns addresses in same order.
  • install wins. configure dc point wins. configure option 044 use both wins server , lan2's wins server. configure dhcp option 046 "0x8"

for "browsing" (meaning network neighborhood, netbios name resolution, non-ad printer browsing, etc), you'll need wins, why mentioned it. install , configure wins on both dcs, , create wins replication partnership between 2 wins server. here's more info:

wins - it, how install it, , how configure dhcp scopes wins client dhcp distribution

then test pinging lan1's dc lan2 it's single (netbios) name. test lan1 lan2. if reply, things working. then on a machine in lan2, click start, run, type in lan1's dc name such: \\lan1dcname and should see lan1's dc shares show up. if does, it's working.
