I am running into a bit of a problem while troubleshooting an Exchange 2000 install. While setting up the DNS the I have been told to point the DNS on the interface to the server's own IP. Then the server own DNS will forward any queries that it cannot answer to the designated "forwarder servers" (which are simply your ISP's dns servers).
This works fine on all the other servers that I have worked on, but this server is using a 10.10.x.x/24 network. (In the past I have used 192.168.x.x/24 networks) When I try to query the server with the problem I get something like "10.10.21.5: Cannot determine server name", that is the gist. This means that I can't point the interface at itself and can't have other clients on the network use the on this server...which make an AD implementation tough.
I think that typically the reverse lookups for 10.x.x.x networks are done by Arins. This would vmean that the server would not have a name unless there was a reverse lookup entry at arins...which ain't gonna happen. Can anyone verify this or give me a pointer if I am just way off (I have the feeling that I may have just gone round the bend)?
Thanks
