Question : DHCP Scope Settings - DNS Server and Name Server Question

What is the best way to setup the scope settings for (005) Name Server and (006) DNS Server?

We currently have our (005) Name Servers as our local DNS servers meaning we are using their private IP address.  We have our (006) DNS Servers as our hosting companies DNS servers.

Is this correct?

Answer : DHCP Scope Settings - DNS Server and Name Server Question

005 NameServer is not a common option, if you are referring to WINS servers that should be under option 44. 006 DNS server should be your own DNS server. Your ISP/hosting companies DNS servers should be listed as a forwarder, not here. Have a look at the suggestions below for DNS and DHCP configuration:

Assuming you have completed the server installation, installed Active Directory, and joined the workstations to the Domain, make sure DNS is configured as follows, assuming a single network adapter:
-The server's NIC should be configured with a static IP, the Internet router as the gateway, and only the server itself as the DNS server. Do not use an ISP DNS server here
-Each workstation should be configured using DHCP (obtain and IP address and DNS automatically) or if configured with static addresses; a static IP in the same subnet as the server, same subnet mask as the server, the gateway pointing to your Internet router, and the DNS server pointing ONLY to the server/domain controller. Again do not put an ISP's DNS server here
-In the DNS management console under Administrative tools, right click on the server name and choose properties. On the Forwarders tab add your ISP's DNS servers
-If the workstations are using DHCP, open the DHCP management console on the server under Administrative tools and click on the server name to expand it, click on the scope to expand it, right click on scope options and choose configure options. On the general tab add the Internet router's IP in #003 router and the server's IP in #006 DNS Servers

This should help with the slow logons. If you have the ISP's DNS's anywhere in the NIC's, the workstations will often go to the Internet to try to resolve names and cause them to "hang".
