DNS querys for two domains?

Hello,

I am not an expert with Win 2003 and 2000 server, but I have the following
that I have setup.
I have an Win 2000 server domain at one office, and I have another seperate
domain in another office, which is a Win 2003 domain. They are connected
together through VPN connection of the internet. I setup the RAS on the Win
2003 system, which accesses the Win2000 system domain. It is one way, I.E.
My win 2003 domain computers can access the ones on the Win2000 system
domain, however, the Win 2000 domain computers can't access the Win 2003
domain computers. This is how I want it.

The problem that I am having, is DNS resolving. I can't use the names of
computers, which are on the Win2000 domain, from the Win 2003 domain. Right
now I have statically added them in a separate forest on the Win2003 domain
controller, and entered in static IP address for those computers. However
if the Win2000 computers IP addresses change, then I have to change them in
my DNS on the Win2003 server. Is there a way that I can tell my Win2003 DNS
queries, that if a computer name with the suffix of the Win2000 domain
appended, to have the Win2000 DC DNS to resolve the name, so I don't have to
keep updating the Win2003 DNS entries every time the IP's change on the
Win2000 side?

Also, how can I get the explorer browses to see the computers on the VPN
Win2000 domain in the Network places section?

Thanks,

James.

If you are running WINS, setup WINS replication. This is assuming you don't
have any duplicate names between the two domains.

In DNS, setup the Windows 2000 domain name as a secondary DNS zone with the
primary DNS server being the DNS box serving the Windows 2000 domain. On
the Windows 2000 side, you have to setup the DNS zone to allow for zone
replication to the DNS server on the Win2k3 domain. This will probably take
care of your issue.

I am not running WINs on either domain. The DNS is on the same machine as
the PDC, everything is on one server for the Win2000 Domain.

How do I do zone replication on the Win 2000 DNS?

Thanks

Your VPN is wrong to start with.

It cannot be "one-way". What you created is a Remote Access VPN with the
"calling" RRAS box acting as a Remote Access VPN User. This is not the
right type of VPN.

You need a Site-to-Site VPN (aka Router-to-Router VPN). Each RRAS box on
each end calls each other using specially named interfaces (2 calls, 1 in
each direction). The connection is two-way (yes, it *has* to be). You
don't control access with the VPN connection,..all it is is a glorified
"cable",...you control access by NTFS settings and Application Permission
settings when particular Applications have such things built into them.

The built in Help in RRAS should have all the details to walk you through
creating a Site-to-Site VPN,...if it doesn't there are probably tons of that
stuff on www.microsoft.com .

For the two sites to interact with each other they need to use the same DNS
and WINS services or at least have each other's "details" duplicated in
their own DNS and WINS. WINS can have Push/Pull Partners and DNS can have
Zone Transfers to automatically replicate the details back and forth.

In the Windows 2000 domain in DNS, right-click > properties on the zone you
would like to replicate. Click the name servers tab and add the Windows
2003 DNS Server(s) Name(s) and IP addresse(s). Then click the click the
zone transfers tab and "Allow Zone Transfers". Select "Only to servers
listed on the names servers tab." You then have to create a secondary zone
on the Widows 2003 DNS servers.

The post by Philip has validity also. The ideal setup if you want one way
access is to have a LAN-to-LAN VPN allowing traffic in one direction.
