    Windows 2003 SBS question about DNS
    « on: August 23, 2007, 10:09:50 AM »
    Hello,

    I am looking for a verification on a hunch...

    I have 2 buildings that share an internet connection.

    Internet > firewall > switches > servers

    Each building has it's own switch and NT4 server and each are running DNS locally (as far as I can tell). When I boot the new Win SBS 2k3 server, I cannot run DNS on it because it senses the service running on the network already. Current plans are to retire one NT4 server in a building and install the SBS server. So my hunch is that if I retire one NT4 server and replace it with SBS, it will not be able to run DNS on the SBS because it can still see it running on the other NT4 server over the network. Also, if I have two SBS severs that share a firewall to the internet will they be able to run their own DNS services or will one have to serve the entire network?

    Any input would be helpful... Thanks!!
