Question : Windows 2008 DNS server config. With DDNS and Google Talk

Greetings,

I have a Domain controller  with Windows server 2008 standard.

My DNS server is working.

I have some trouble to access many thing in the network.

This is my domain information
FQDN = tblinc.local
Registred domain name : tblinc.ca

First of all, I can't access my website at www.tblinc.ca and the other web services I have for my domain.

I can't use my DynDNS custom account since it ends with tblinc.ca.

I can't use google talk.. my connection are always refused.

If I change my local computer's dns to an open dns server, everything is working great.

Okay, so probably the best approach is to create your own version of www.tblinc.ca.

OPTION 1:

Do you access the site on http://tblinc.ca as well? Or just the www version? If it's just www this is the easiest to do because it's less bother:

1. Open the DNS Console
2. Select Forward Lookup Zones
3. Right click and select New Zone
4. Select Primary and it can let it store in Active Directory
5. Name the zone "www.tblinc.ca" (note that www is intentionally included here)
6. Disable Dynamic Updates
7. Select the new zone, then right click on it and select New Host (A) Record.
8. Leave the name blank and enter the internal IP Address of the web server (untick update PTR record)

OPTION 2:

If you need to use http://tblinc.ca as well these instructions are more appropriate:

1. Open the DNS Console
2. Select Forward Lookup Zones
3. Right click and select New Zone
4. Select Primary and it can let it store in Active Directory
5. Name the zone "tblinc.ca"
6. Disable Dynamic Updates
7. Select the new zone, then right click on it and select New Host (A) Record.
8. Leave the name blank and enter the internal IP Address of the web server (untick update PTR record)
9. Right click on the zone again and select New Alias (CNAME) Record.
10. Enter the name "www" and in the target host box enter "tblinc.ca."

The disadvantage of this second approach is that if you need to resolve anything else within tblinc.ca (ftp.tblinc.ca for example) you will have to add it to your internal version of the zone.
