Did I set up correctly?
I am new to DNS. We have a WinNT 4.0 box as our DHCP server. It also has a DNS server running on it.
We are going to be running an intranet web site on one of the other servers on the network. I've got it up and running with IIS and everything works fine if I use the IP address. What I'd like to do is configure the DNS server on the first box to only lookup any requests for help.gcglaw.com. If any other requests come in, then I want it to use our normal DNS servers (ISP-provided, external) Right now I set up a zone on the DNS server that was called gcglaw.com, but then I had to add A records for every one of our subdomains, such as URL mail. ....etc because computers weren't able to find the sites (it wasn't looking gcglaw.com requests up in the normal DNS servers).. so it works fine, but i think it's kind of a kludge. So, should I (A) delete the old zone and create a new one with a different configuration (which i will need help on), or (B) configure the existing zone and possibly add a root zone(?) that forwards all requests to the regular DNS servers. Any and all help/direction is much appreciated ... Thanks!

I've updated my BIND configuration links so that you can see how I've got things setup. The reason I did this is cause what I've got is exactly what you need to do.
http://serialcoders.sytes.net/BIND/named.conf http://serialcoders.sytes.net/BIND/example.com.zone My server is both a caching and authoritative server. The computers on my LAN use it to resolve dns requests. The server is authoritative for 1 zone: example.com with which I test my dns software. All requests for hosts within the example.com zone are handled by my server. Anything else is forwarded to my ISP's dns servers. If the ISP failed to resolve the request, the server will attempt to resolve it itself using the root servers configured in: http://serialcoders.sytes.net/BIND/root.hint You can see for yourself how my server acts here: [looking up yahoo.com] Script resolves the domain: http://serialcoders.sytes.net/cgi-b...&lr=3&submit=DS Local Server resolves the domain: http://serialcoders.sytes.net/cgi-b...&lr=3&submit=DS [looking up example.com] Script resolves the domain: http://serialcoders.sytes.net/cgi-b...&lr=3&submit=DS Local Server resolves the domain: http://serialcoders.sytes.net/cgi-b...&lr=3&submit=DS
