  • Proper Configuration of DNS server for our new branch office

    Hi All,
    Our new office will setup a new branch office with a routed network link to our HO. In HO, we have 2 domain controllers configured as AD and DNS just for fail over scenarios.
    How will we configure the DNS server of our 3rd domain controller which we will placed in the new branch office. What would be the proper settings of DNS server integrated to AD to work well especially to have a successful replication and communication to
    the 2 DC's located in HO?

    Hi,
    If you have multiple DC's in that site i would recommend using any of the partner DC's IP addresses as preferred one and secondary DNS IP to pointing to itself. Dont use loopback addresses configure it with actual IP addresses.
    If you have only one server in branch office point itself as the primary DNS and HO DC as secondary and tertiary.
    Make sure that all clients in your branch site are pointing to the branch DC as primary DNS server.

  • Dynamically configure different DNS server based on user login.

    I've got two young sons and I'm looking to reconfigure the 'Family' desktop to give the older son his own user account.
    I've only recently started with Arch on my personal netbook so the family desktop is still running Ubuntu.  That will likely change next clean install though.
    I'd like to set the DNS to OpenDNS 'family shield' for his usage but allow full access via a different DNS server such as google DNS (for example) for parental use without filtering.
    I'd like this to switch auto magically based on the user login credentials if possible.
    I understand the limitations of DNS filtering but my oldest son has never even heard of DNS much less being able to figure out how to circumvent it yet.  I'll deal with that in several years when it becomes an issue...
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    It looks like I might have to set up a squid proxy with Dan's Guardian.  I was hoping for a simpler solution though.
    Dan's Guardian is going to be a whole lot simpler than hacking the system resolver to use different servers for different users.
    You MIGHT be able to hack something with iptables, the NAT table and a DNAT in conjunction with the 'owner' module... Something like:
    Set your "unrestricted" DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf and a rule like below...
    I'll assume you set the Google servers; 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and your son's usernames are 'brad' and 'tony'
    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d 8.8.8.8 -m owner --uid-owner brad -j dnat --to 208.67.222.222
    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d 8.8.4.4 -m owner --uid-owner brad -j dnat --to 208.67.220.220
    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d 8.8.8.8 -m owner --uid-owner tony -j dnat --to 208.67.222.222
    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d 8.8.4.4 -m owner --uid-owner tony -j dnat --to 208.67.220.220
    Untested and I don't guarantee that will work. You could tidy it up and bit using subchains etc, but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.... And I'd still recommend a filtering proxy over the above....

  • Configuration of standard server, 10.5.4 install disk, small office, DNS

    I've reinstalled more times than I care to count.
    Been on the phone with support people- no one seems to know how to install standard in my config.
    I have a fixed business class IP-
    it connects from their modem to my Apple Extreme basestation N gigabit
    which then connects to a 24 port gigabit ethernet switch.
    The server is manually mapped by MAC address to 192.168.0.2
    In the standard setup-
    It asks for login to Apple Extreme basestation N gigabit- I provide- password- then configure manually (rest of computers use DHCP)
    I supply.
    Manual configured ip at 192.168.0.2
    subnet 255.255.255.0
    router 192.168.0.1
    left DNS blank.
    Standard install.
    The ethernet is configured to run through an ethernet card from my xserve- since the internal one doesn't seem to register.
    I used the MAC address for the machine in the Basestation to route to this mac address and reserve .2
    once it gets completed- it whines: server cannot connect be found on the network check that the server hostname
    etc.
    System prefs> Network settings- DNS I've tried with 192.168.0.1, I've tried with 127.0.0.1 and with 127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.1
    nothing works. I've even tried with 192.168.0.2
    It can't find server.name.lan (note I changed my actual 3 letter name for "name" in this example)
    it can find 192.168.0.2 sometimes - but slowly.
    I've reinstalled this about 50 times now.
    I've even done it with someone on the phone-
    at no time have we had:
    Jabber working at server.name.lan
    server.name.lan resolving to the wiki page
    calender working
    and vpn enabled.
    I've lost countless hours with this-
    My employees haven't been able to work at times (like tomorrow morning- because we keep all our files shared on this server).
    this is getting to be uber ridiculous.
    suggestions?
    The last install- I tried it name.private
    going to terminal- it still says to repair dns.
    There is a spot in the airport Internet settings for domain name- should I put in name.private or server.name.lan?
    I've also tried the disconnect the ethernet cable routine- that one tech had me do-
    I now know how to go into terminal and check- using sudo ipconfig -checkhostname
    where I have not been able to get the two entries- always get the message to repair dns.
    This shouldn't be that difficult.
    Thanks in advance

    The most obvious problem from your posted details is:
    left DNS blank.
    You can't do this. You HAVE to have working DNS somewhere.
    For the initial setup this could be a DNS server managed by your ISP. If you're configuring internal DNS then it could be your internal DNS server (or even 127.0.0.1), but not until that server is up and running.
    I used the MAC address for the machine in the Basestation to route to this mac address and reserve .2
    I don't understand this statement. MAC addresses don't (or, at least, shouldn't) come into the picture at all.
    System prefs> Network settings- DNS I've tried with 192.168.0.1, I've tried with 127.0.0.1 and with 127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.1
    nothing works. I've even tried with 192.168.0.2
    192.168.0.1 won't work - that is your base station and your base station is not a DNS server.
    127.0.0.1 won't work until you configure and start up the DNS server in Mac OS X Server.
    192.168.0.2 won't work either - for the same reason as 127.0.0.1. It will work once you configure the DNS server on this machine.
    So it sounds to me like your first order of business is to setup the DNS server. During the installation process you were asked which services to run. Make sure you enabled DNS then use Server Admin to configure your DNS zone.

  • DNS Server Having Intermittent Issues with Open Directory

    I work for a school and we're undertaking the large task of moving from Xserves running 10.6.8 to Mac Minis running 10.9. I have a lot of experience with OS X Server (I held ACSA up until they ditched it, and ACTC through the current OS) but I've hit a fairly large snag in configuring our DNS server. We currently run DNS via an AD server that is being retired at the end of the summer, so this is the first time our DNS will be Mac-based. That said, our network is ridiculously simple as we are a very small school. For the most part it's a flat network using the same IP range for our wired and wireless internal clients (we do have a vlan for guests but that's through Aerohive). I configured the DNS by hand, recreating the entries in our AD server (there were only about a dozen) and then adding in things that should have been there in the first place (e.g. printers and some other devices with static IPs that I'd like FQDNs for). Everything seemed to be working fine...until trying to log into Open Directory accounts.
    For some background, the DNS server running 10.9 was the first server we upgraded and it was a completely clean install. We run DHCP on another Mac Server currently running 10.6.8 and it does have the proper OD server listed. All DNS entries for the OD server match our current DNS server. The issue is that it's taking some users 5-6 tries to log in with their network accounts. The errors they receive range from the login window shaking to it stating the user cannot log in at this time. This seems to be worse on client machines running 10.9. but it's appearing on machines running 10.6.8-10.9.3.
    In my troubleshooting, I found that if I log in as a local user to one of those machines and do a dig for the OD server the results vary, this is where it gets weird. For example, if I dig ourodserver.ourdomain.org it will sometimes return host not found or it will sometimes resolve. If I ping the same thing it will sometimes work (even after stating it cannot resolve the host) and it will sometimes fail. If I then try a dig for the .local (e.g. ourodserver.local) it also yields the same varied results. However, on every machine that I've tested if I then open a Finder window and navigate to the server via the "Shared" menu and connect I have no trouble connecting and then magically my digs and pings in terminal work. If I revert DNS back to point to our old Windows server the issue goes away. I have meticulously combed through that server many many times now and am not seeing any missed entries. Any idea what could be causing this?

    You must have a working DNS service, and the server's hostname must match its fully-qualified domain name. To confirm, select the server by name in the sidebar of the Server application window, then select the Overview tab. Click the Edit button on the Host Name line. On the Accessing your Server sheet, Domain Name should be selected. Change the Host Name, if necessary. The server must have at least a three-level name (e.g. "server.yourdomain.com"), and the name must not be in the ".local" top-level domain, which is reserved for Bonjour.
    The primary DNS server used by the server must be 127.0.0.1 (that is, itself) unless you're using another server for internal DNS. The only DNS server set on the clients should be the internal one, which they should get from DHCP if applicable.

  • Dns server in solaris 10 issues

    Hello,
    I have configured /etc/resolv.conf with the following:
    nameserver 8.8.8.8
    "nslookup www.yahoo.com" works fine to get the IP, but "ping www.yahoo.com" failed with with unknown host.
    Did I miss something to configure my dns server?
    Thanks for the help in advance.
    Tom

    You haven't configured a DNS server. You've told nslookup which DNS server to use to resolve a name to an address.
    Try:
    http://www.convery.me.uk/blog/?p=16
    for assistance with your issue.
    Don't forget that Solaris 10 uses both hosts and ipndoes. Later versions have these files linked together.

  • Do I need to run local DNS server for NAT/DHCP to work?

    Hello,
    I'm coming across all kinds of explanations how to set up a server for public access, having a static IP and a pointed domain, but I have a dynamic public IP and don't need the server to be accessible through a domain name. I just want all the computers in my office to connect to the web over 1 cable connection. I've used Gateway Setup Assistant to set up NAT and DHCP and DNS and what not, but it didn't work out of the box. After some bootpd.plist fixes I now have DHCP working, it's handing out IP addresses, but all LAN connected machines cannot get onto the web, only the server can.
    What am I doing wrong? Should I configure my DNS server differently? Or should it not be on at all, couldn't the local machines use my ISP's DNS servers?
    Currently DNS is configured like this:
    Settings are:
    accept recursive queries from the following networks: localnets
    forwarder IP addresses: (empty)
    Zones are:
    private. primary zone
    134.23.24.in-addr.arpa. reverse zone

    Though still a valid question for others I guess, I got my DNS working. The network preferences didn't have external DNS servers configured for the local network interface.

  • Does DNS server cache forwarded request responses?

    Hi,
    Please excuse my ignorance.  I am new to OSX Server and DNS.  I setup OSX Server on my Mountain Lion system and configured the DNS server.  It forwards requests which it cannot resolve to my service provider's DNS.
    I am wondering if the responses to those forwarded requests are cached by the OSX Server so that the next time a request comes through they can be handled locally?
    If they are, is there a way I can see what the DNS server has cached?
    Thanks.

    There are caches all over.
    OS X client caches DNS responses.
    See the command-line dscacheutil tool for poking around with that. 
    OS X Server DNS server also caches responses. 
    The BIND9 rndc tool is used for poking around in the ISC BIND9 DNS server, as is included with OS X Server.
    sudo rndc -p 54 dumpdb -all
    TCP port 54 is the management port used by default in the OS X Server version I've checked, where other installations of BIND9 will use TCP port 953 for that.  To confirm the port, go have a look at the named.conf file for the "control" declaration.  That file is usually either in /etc/named.conf, or it can be stored in /library/server/named in some OS X Server versions.  Once the rndc command completes, go look in the directory where named.conf resides for the file named named_dump.db.  That's a text file with the dump.
    If you want to learn the innards of DNS as implemented by recent ISC BIND servers, acquire a copy of Cricket Liu's DNS and BIND book.  The 5th edition was current, when last I checked.
    Barring cases where the upstream provider offers DNS-based filtering or such, forwarding requests is usually an extra hop in the DNS translations that — unless you're hitting the same domains as other folks on your server — might not pay off.  If the translation isn't in the ISP's DNS caches, then the usual series of queries of other root and authoritative DNS servers will ensue; you've added a hop. 
    If you do want to use a gonzo-scale DNS server as a forwarding server — I'd expect higher-scale and larger caches and likely also higher-availability than what most any other ISP is likely running — then Google DNS servers are available at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
    Or just eliminate the forwarding servers.

  • Two vpngroup vpnadmin dns-server addresses

    Has anyone or does anyone know how to put two vpngroup vpnadmin dns-server addresses on a PIX 515E?  I am trying to set up a second DNS Server and without the command in the PIX my VPN clients cannot authenticate through the PIX on the second DNS Server.  I have tried several times to put the command in but it keeps removing the existing one and replacing it with the one I try to put in.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Randy L Brown

    You can configure both DNS server on the same command as follows:
    vpngroup vpnadmin dns-server
    Hope this helps.

  • Cisco IOS as DNS server

    Dear Community!
    Could someone help me to fine-tuning DNS server configuration?
    I'm configuring an IOS router act as a DNS server with the following parameters:
    ip name-server [IP #1] [IP #2]
    ip dns server
    ip domain round-robin
    ip domain name [domain.net]
    The 1st DNS server is a public DNS server accessible from Internet, the 2nd one is a private corporate DNS server accessible from a site-2-site tunnel.
    The client PCs at the remote end of the IPSec tunnel should query public DNS names from public DNS server, and the records of our private DNS domain.
    Is it possible to configure a "policy" to query corporate DNS domain from a dedicated DNS server, and the other public DNS name from the public one?
    Thanks in advance!

    Sure, it's called DNS Proxy. It's not supported on all devices, so you'll have to check.
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123relnt/800/rn830xc3.htm
    DNS Proxy
    In virtual private network (VPN), Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPOE), etc. PCs connected to the LAN may get Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) parameters including the IP addresses of the Domain Name System (DNS) server prior to the router connecting to the WAN to get the information over IP Control Protocol (IPCP). The objective with Proxy DNS (or caching-only name server) enables the router to receive DNS queries on behalf of the real DNS servers and proxy for the hosts on the LAN connected users. This enables the DHCP server to immediately send the hosts the router's own LAN address in lieu of the DNS server's IP address. The router forwards the DNS queries from local users to real DNS servers after the WAN connection comes up and caches the DNS records in response. Over the time, cache includes the DNS information most often requested by the local resolvers and this can reduce the overhead of packets to the WAN.
    The router must obtain the correct DNS server information from the WAN in order for it to function as a proxy DNS server.
    The global configuration command ip dns server enables DNS proxy server functionality on the router, and causes it to forward DNS queries to the actual DNS servers. The global configuration command dns-server address causes the router to respond to DNS queries with its own IP address.
    HTH and please rate.

  • Cisco 877W acting a a DNS server. Does it answer external DNS queries coming from the WAN

    Hello,
    I have a Cisco 877W running on my ADSL2+ service at home.
    It is setup to act as a DNS server to answer DNS queries for my LAN and has the below commands as part of its configuration
    ip dns server
    ip dhcp pool LAN
       network 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
       default-router 192.168.2.254
       dns-server 8.8.8.8
    My question is, when I scan my WAN IP for open ports, port 53 (DNS) is open. Does this mean my router will be acting as a DNS server for anyone on the internet who directs DNS queries to my WAN IP?
    If so, am I able to turn off port 53 towards the Internet, or do I need to add an an access-list to only accept queries from my internal network.
    Thanks for your feedback.

    That's correct. The "ip dns server" command will answer queries on any interface.
    Given that your DHCP server is telling your clients to use Google DNS and not your router, I would just turn the router's DNS server off with the "no ip dns server" command.
    Setting up an ACL (and/or inspection or zone-based firewalling) on your Internet-facing interface is the best practice to protect your network in general, not just to prevent external DNS queries.

  • Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding [and I'm at my wit's end!]

    I originally posted this question to the community section and was advised to post it here.  Please bear with me as this will be a long post.  I'm including the scenarios involving this reoccurring issue, the trouble shooting steps I've already
    taken and the results of several diagnostic tools and logs.
    I have a Sony VAIOS VPCEBB33FM lap top since 2011.  I have had this issue on an off for a long time.  I'm at my wit's end.  Any new insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Scenario Details
    1)  Some times it's on and off through out the day, sometimes it won't work all day, and once in a while it will work fine for the entire day.
    2)  I've had this issue across several wireless services, Clear Network accessed with WiMax, Library Wi-fi, Comcast cable internet using wireless router and Wi-fi, and Comcast Xfinity Wi-Fi, to name a few examples.
    3)  Other devices in the household or library will work with no problems such as my smart phone or my roommates' laptops or desktop computers.
    4) Once in a while,  the built-in wireless adapter is not found and I have to reinstall the driver.  Also the diagnostic tool has had to reset my adapter on an increasing basis.
    5)  I had my hard drive replaced in December 2014 and my system restored from the System Restore disks that came with it when I bought the laptop.  Even though I've been online on an infrequent basis it worked just fine for a while. Now that
    I've been online a bit more I'm having the same issues again.
    Below are my attempts at trouble shooting so far but I still have not been able to consistently resolve my DNS issues
     1) Restarting my adapter
     2) Turning off my laptop and removing the power supply for 5-10 minutes before turning it back on.
     3)  Using the IP Config in Command Prompt
         ipconfig /flushdns
         ipconfig /registerdns
         ipconfig /release
         ipconfig /renew
     4) Using the NetSh reset in Command Prompt and restarting my laptop
         netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
         netsh winsock reset
         ipconfig /flushdns
         [restart laptop]
     5)  Configuring the TCP/IP in several settings
        Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click Properties.
        I have used the following settings:
           a) Obtain an DNS server address automatically
           b) OpenDNS
               208 67 222 222
               208 67 220 220
           c) Google DNS
               8 8 8 8
               8 8 4 4
     6) Updating the driver for my Intel Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6250 AGN and Intel Centrino(R) WIMAX 6250 from the Intel website previous having my laptop wiped clean in 2014.  It still did not resolve the issue.  My laptop
    manufacturer as not come up with an driver update for my adapter since 2010.  I haven't tried to update the adapter driver from Intel's website since having my laptop repaired due to the fact that Intel strongly recommending using the manufacturer's updates
    instead and frankly it didn't make much of a difference when I did it the first time.
     7) The last one I've tried as of today is going into Services and changing the start up type to automatic for the following:
           Computer Browser [changed from manual to automatic]
           DHCP Client [already set to automatic]
           DNS Client [already set to automatic]
           Network Connections [already set to automatic]
           Network Location Awareness [changed from manual to automatic]
           Remote Procedure Call (RPC) [already set to automatic]
           Server [already set to automatic]
           TCP/IP Netbios helper [already set to automatic]
           Workstation [already set to automatic]
    ...and I'm still having DNS issues.
    My only guessing are that my laptop came with a lemon adapter that needs to be replaced, some advanced setting(s) that I'm not aware off, or my firewall/anti-virus is interfering. I've used Symmantic Anti-virus and Firewall in the past and currently
    Avast Anti-Virus with Microsoft Network Firewall.  I've had DNS issues with both anti-virus/firewall set ups.

  • How to configure DNS server to redirect all web traffic to one external website?

    I'd like to use the DNS service on my OS X Server as a way to force all all web traffic to one specific, external website. Not quite sure how to go about configuring it, though - any recommendations?
    (BTW, this is, obviously, not our primary DNS server; I intend to silently update the preferred DNS server for users who fail to complete their timesheets in order to force the issue)

    Web clients don't generate uniquely-identifiable DNS queries; there's no SRV request or related traffic that you could select on and spoof.  So if you do implement this, everything querying the spoofing DNS server will get the spoofed host, or you'll have to spot specific queries that are likely web queries; Facebook, Google, Bing, etc. 
    If you still want to implement this, then I'd probably replace the DNS server with a runt DNS server (maybe hack dnsmasq or maraDNS, or create yourself a trivial DNS server) and have that always return the specified IP address.  This avoids having to hack BIND to be universally authoritative, which is probably on par with hacking a simpler DNS server to always return a fixed IP address, and the latter is probably easier to undo.
    A firewall can spot TCP port 80 and port 443 traffic, unlike a DNS server.   Firewalling outbound port 80 traffic is more typical of these requests, and either trap that traffic to a specific web page based on the capabilities of the firewall, or the web proxy approach that Camelot suggests.  There are folks that tie access into the web proxies into external authentication and related; that'd be able to do what you want.   Web proxies are usually combined with firewall blocks, as most sites want only the web proxy to have external access, too.  But this is also rather more pieces than a DNS redirect, too.

  • Do I have to configure DNS server before configuring VPN server?

    Hi,
    In my journey to get this mac os X server to actually work...
    Do I need to configure DNS server on Mac OS X server first before setting up VPN or ICHAT server?
    Or, it seems that I can use my D-Link Gaming router as a DNS server.
    I think I'm most confused with which numbers to enter as my DNS... is it the local IP of my mac mini being used as the server (192.168.0.1) or is it the IP address assigned to my cabel modem?
    There are so many posts on this, I am feeling lost.... has anyone found a really great step by step that explains how to do this?
    thanks
    Ethan-

    Ethan,
    My experience is that it is absolutely necessary to have an external DNS server setup correctly BEFORE you even start installing your OS X Server, so why not keep it. Still, once you have set up OS X Server, you can also use its own DNS server, but be VERY careful to set it up correctly. DNS mistakes, especially the ones regarding server's own IP addresses, are usually not forgiven by OS X Server. Many of us here have learned that the hard way. As for me, I prefer to have a dedicated DNS.
    Best regards,
    Andrus
