RE: OT w2k server,workstations,dsl router and DNS

["Ian Willoughby" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Personally I would use smoothwall but if you go with W2K AS then set it
up as your DNS server and set your ISP's DNS server addresses as
forwarders. Disable DHCP on the router and set up a scope on the Server,
remember to enable automatic DNS update in the scope. Ere that's it.

I want to set a w2k server as a local domain controler, no problem
all works ok, now i want to add the dsl router, its got dhcp which i
will use.

My question is this since my router will issue the dns numbers, how
will my local pc's find each other (sql2000 server) ? clearly any
request for a local host will get looked up on a isp's dns server
which will not find a result.

Should i switch off the dhcp on the router and switch it on the
server, with dns and put that as dns1 and put the isp's dns as dns2,
would that work ?

whats the normal setup

John
