Setting Forward Lookup Zones in DNS based on the port queried

I have the following problem.
We are using Dynamic DNS to access our site and the modem/router differentiates via port forwarding what server the query goes to based on the port number ie all request go to abc.dyndns.org:port number.
Based on the port eg. port 3389 goes to server1 (192.168.0.1), port 8080 goes to server 2(192.168.0.2), port 80 goes to server 3 (192.168.0.3). This all works well if you are entering from OUTSIDE the local network.
INSIDE the local network, I have setup a Forward Lookup Zone on a Domain server using DNS where the Host A resolves abc.dyndns.org to the local IP address of server 1 (192.168.0.1). This works fine.
How do I get the abc.dyndns.org:other ports to go to the other servers IP addresses as you can only setup one Host A record of  abc.dyndns.org to one address 192.168.0.1, if someone queries from INSIDE the local network as the modem/router does not
come into play?

As I said before, DNS doesn't do this. DNS has nothing to do with ports resolution. It's purely a name to IP or IP to name resolution. THAT'S IT!
But you can port translate each individual port from the WAN IP to different IPs  internally. I thought I said that earlier? Maybe I wasn't clear. I apologize for not fully explaining it, for I thought you understood that part.
Revisiting the bottom of your original post:
INSIDE the local network, I have setup a Forward Lookup Zone on a Domain server using DNS where the Host A resolves abc.dyndns.org to the local IP address of server 1 (192.168.0.1). This works fine.
How do I get the abc.dyndns.org:other ports to go to the other servers IP addresses as you can only setup one Host A record of  abc.dyndns.org to one address 192.168.0.1, if someone queries from INSIDE the local network as the modem/router does not
come into play?
You still have to specify the port internally. Assuming mail.domain.com is server4 (since you didn't specify that port in your original post), you simply create a mail.domain.com zone and give it a blank IP for (making this up) 192.168.0.3, then type in
the same exact thing you would do from the outside:
http://mail.domain.com:8083/folder  
Like I said, it's in the application. DNS just resolve to an IP. There are 65,536 port numbers, and DNS does not deal with resolving any of them. That's the responsibility of the application or service and the client (such as a browser) connecting to
it.

  • When trying to assign IP reservation in IPAM, Domain does not appear in Forward lookup zone drop-down list

    I am trying to assign reserved IP Addresses through IPAM that is installed on a Server 2012 OS.  Here is the procedure I have been following:
    Login to IPAM server
    Open Server Manager
    In left-hand column select IPAM
    In left-center column expand IP ADDRESS SPACE
    Select IP Address Range Groups
    Right-click the appropriate address range and select Find and Allocate Available IP Address
    In new window, scroll down to Basic Configurations
    I can input the basic configurations with no problem.  DHCP Reservation Synchronizations look good too.  But when I get down to DNS Record Synchronization, I can't do anything with the Forward lookup zones because nothing appears in the drop-down
    lists and I cannot manually enter the zone name.  Here is a screen shot of what I see at this point:
    Without completing this information, I cannot complete the Address Reservation.
    Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi Tom,
    This happens if your DNS servers that are managed by IPAM are not authoritative and primary for any zones, if they are not authoritative for the appropriate zones, or if there are not any DNS servers managed by IPAM.
    See the examples below. Here my DNS server is authoritative for 4 forward zones and 2 reverse zones. I can choose any of the forward zones but assuming I pick a range such as 10.0.1.0, I would be unable to choose the 168.192.in-addr.arpa zone because the
    IP addresses do not match.

  • Delegate DNS Forward Lookup Zone

    A: DNS - I would like to delegate the ability of creating Forward Lookup Zones at the root of my DNS (not subdomain).
    For example, i would like to delegate to my "Tier 1" staff with the ability to modify our DNS. i want our "Tier 1" staff to have the ability to create a Primary Zone in order to redirect users that attempt to access a site with known malware content to an internal site with a warning message notifying the user that they have attempted to access a site that is not allowed.
    Is this possible?

    Hiya,
    I'm about 86% sure that if they need permissions to  create primary zones, they will have access to the complete DNS administration. So it's just a question if that is ok?
    If that is okay you can add the users to the DNSadmin group and they should have access to perform the above from the DNS administration tool, which can be installed anywhere.

  • Permissions to create Reverse Lookup Zones in DNS

    What Active Directory permissions are needed to create Reverse Lookup Zones in DNS?  My co-worker is getting an access denied error when completing the wizard for this and the zone is NOT created.  He is a member of the "DnsAdmins" group and
    he can create Forward Lookup Zones.  We are running Server 2008 R2 SP1 on our Domain Controllers where DNS is running.  Any ideas?

    Set permissions for the DnsAdmins group on the DomainDNSZones application partition. To do this, follow these steps:
    Click Start, click Run, type Adsiedit.msc, and then click
    OK.
    In the task pane, right-click ADSI Edit, and then click
    Connect to.
    Under Connection Point, click Select or type a Distinguished Name or Naming Context, type the following, and then click
    OK:
    CN=MicrosoftDNS,DC= DomainDNSZones,DC=<var>Domain</var>,DC=<var>Domain_Extension</var>
    In the task pane, locate and right-click CN=MicrosoftDNS,DC= DomainDNSZones,DC=<var>Domain</var>,DC=<var>Domain_Extension</var>, and then click
    Properties.
    Click the Security tab, and then click Advanced. The
    Advanced Security Settings for MicrosoftDNS dialog box appears.
    In the Permissions tab, click Add.
    In the Enter the object name to select box, type DnsAdmins, and then click
    Check Names to verify the name.
    Click OK. The Permission Entry for Microsoft DNS dialog box appears.
    In the Apply onto drop-down list, click This object only.
    Click to select the Allow check box for the Full Control
    permission, and then click OK.
    In the Advanced Security Settings for MicrosoftDNS dialog box, click
    Apply, and then click OK.
    Click OK to close the properties dialog box for the DomainDNSZones application partition.
    Close the ADSI Edit window.
    Test whether you can create a new DNS zone now.

  • Create a "New Zone" in the "Forward Lookup Zone"

    I am working I Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

  • Msdsc folder and forward lookup zone

    I have a customer running a 2012 domain. In DNS, there is a Forward Lookup Zone named _msdcs.domain.name and also a folder named _msdcs inside the domain.name
    Forward Lookup Zone.
    The folder is grayed out. From what I've read, this folder may be a leftover from a previous domain OS upgrade. Can it be deleted safely?
    Also, we think there may be some corruption in the _msdcs.domain.name zone. From what I have read, it seems like we can delete it and Active Directory will re-create it. Do I have that correct?
    Jonathan

    The grayed out _msdcs folder is a delegation that should contain NS (Name Server) records for the DNS servers that hold the _msdcs.domain.ext zone - However it's only used in scenarios where the _msdcs.domain.ext zone isn't replicated or available at all
    DCs - in a multi-domain environment for example.
    No you should not delete the zone, it's needed for replication, if you wish to re-create it for a good reason, you have to point _all_ DCs to one single DNS Server where you re-create the zone.
    But there is no need to do this unless in rare situations, if you think information is missing dcidiag /test:dns /E will find out.

    So if this is a single domain with 2 Windows 2012 DNS servers, it seems like I can delete that grayed out folder. Correct?
    As for deleting and re-creating the zone, we believe there may be corruption in it and have read that if the zone is deleted, then AD will automatically re-create it.

  • Remove Old Name Servers from reverse lookup zones in DNS- PowerShell

    Hello Scripting Guys,
    I'm a long-time fan. Please let me know if I have included enough information for you to provide some guidance. Thank
    you!
    Here is what I am attempting to do:
    import a .csv file which contains
    zoneName,hostname,RecordType
    and then delete the name server entries from the reverse lookup zones.
    Why:
    There are hundreds of zones and 80+ name servers in each for a total of about 25,000 records to be removed. I
    have the list of zones and the list of name servers which I want to remove from the zones.
    Environment:
    I am running PowerShell as a Domain Admin with access to DNS. Zones allow secure updates only (if that matters here).
    I am running it from a Server 2012 R2 server with the DNS admin tools installed against Server 2008 R2 DNS servers. Current AD functional level Windows Server 2003. All DC are DNS server and GC's.
    What I have tried:
    The following
    works to return all the Name Server records in a zone:
    .csv file format
    zoneName,hostname,RecordType
    1.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver1.contoso.com.,Ns
    1.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver2.contoso.com.,Ns
    1.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver3.contoso.com.,Ns
    2.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver1.contoso.com.,Ns
    2.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver2.contoso.com.,Ns
    2.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver3.contoso.com.,Ns
    Script\Command:
    Import-Module DnsServer
    $PDCE = Get-ADDomainController -Discover -Service PrimaryDC
    import-csv c:\temp\OldNSrecords-test.csv | foreach {
    Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $_.zoneName -RRType "Ns" -computerName $PDCE
    -Node
    OutPut to screen:
    HostName RecordType Timestamp TimeToLive RecordData
    @ NS 0 1:00:00 Nameserver1.contoso.com
    @ NS 0 1:00:00 Nameserver2.contoso.com
    However, replacing the business line (in green above after foreach) with the remove command (in red below)
    does not work to delete the specific record listed in the .csv, even though it follows the
    pattern from MS TechNet:
    Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $_.zoneName -RRType "Ns" -name $_.hostname -computerName
    $PDCE
    Error:
    PS C:\Windows\system32> C:\Temp\OldNSCleanup.ps1
    Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord : Failed to get nameserver1.contoso.com. record in

    DnsServerResourceRecord], CimException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WIN32 9714,Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord​
    When I remove the use of the .csv and put the names of the zone and server in the command, I get the same results.
    Fail.
    It's as if the record does not exist, but I can browse to it in the GUI. I found
    this about Missing Glue records, but it does not seem to apply to reverse lookup NS records. I'm thinking that I need to first load each zone into an assembly and then do the removal,
    but I'm not sure how to do that in PowerShell. I tried piping the get command for the zone to the remove command, but that did not work or I did not have the correct syntax.
    I have attempted to use DNSCMD to do the same and that command appears to work, but then fails to actually remove
    the record.
    Here is an example of that command:
    import-csv C:\Temp\OldNSrecords-test.csv | foreach {dnscmd.exe "DNSServer.contoso.com" /Recorddelete $_.ZoneName
    $_.hostname $_.recordType /f}
    Output:
    Deleted Ns record(s) at 1.112.170.in-addr.arpa
    Command completed successfully. [But not really, the NS record is still there]
    I have researched several sites including the suggest one here, but this does not fit my requirement.

    G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.      3600000      A     192.112.36.4
    In this case the dot represents the self reference to the A record.  These are the records that bootstrap all of the Internet.  Remove them and you ae lost.
    The CSV uses the @ to anchor the local domain.  Perhaps the DNS CmdLets prefer the dot.  The @ is what appears on the screen when we use the GUI. Note the dot at the end of the FQDN.  It is required.  Even browser use
    it but they add it if you forget.

  • Can't delete primary zone in DNS after moving the server

    Woe is me!
    Our MacMini was hosted at a Colo site and working fine. No firewall in front of the machine, so we turned on the server firewall and only allowed mail, web, ftp, and a couple of other services. This worked great using our external public DNS wired to our domain names and public fixed IP address. Later, we got VPN up a running (the trick was to create a second, local IP address for the ethernet port), but this also required us to turn on the server's DNS to create a split-brained DNS server.
    Everything was working swimmingly... and then we had a hard drive crash. Since we were thinking about moving the server onsite anyway (our POS system was accessed through the VPN, but it could be slow and made our tasting room dependent on Internet access in order to run the POS), we ordered Comcast business class internet with a fixed IP address.
    We updated the external public DNS to the new public fixed ip. Rather than plug the mini directly to the Comcast router (which is in pass-through mode), we elected to put a AirPort Extreme in front of it, mainly so we could get all of the POS computers on the same local network without using the mini as a DHCP/NAT router. We created a DHCP reservation on the Extreme so that the mini had a fixed local IP address. We port forwarded everything we wanted to expose to the Internet. Email started to work again. However, web services and VPN are nada.
    This being Snow Leopard Server and having spent literally hours debugging DNS issues when we first got the server, I knew it wouldn't be straightforward. And it hasn't been. Even changing the IP address of the server has been a chore.
    We ran "sudo changeip <old IP address> <new IP address>".
    Then we ran "sudo changeip -checkhostname" and received:
    "$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
    Primary address     = 10.0.8.2 <new static internal IP address>
    Current HostName    = <servername>.<domainname>.com
    The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
    dirserv:success = "success""
    Oh no, the black pit of death.
    Even though I tried to modify the machine record in the local DNS to reflect the new internal static IP address, Nada.
    So, looking back on my previous research from Mr Hoffman and others, I stopped the DNS service, and I deleted the primary zone and reverse lookups in order to rebuild them from scratch. Except that no matter what I do, I can't delete the primary zone - it comes back like Dracula (even though the reverse zone and all of the zone records are gone). I tried rebuilding everything using the undeletable zone, but after a few services (saved each one separately), they would suddenly disappear.
    I am leery of messing with the DNS files on the server as I don't want to hose up Server Admin (my command line skills are rudimentary and slow). I have so much installed on the machine now that I am concerned about someone saying "reinstall".
    Help!
    Related to this is that it is not clear to me in web services which IP address you should use for the sites. The internal IP? The public IP? I thought Apache cared about the external IP address. And I think Apache is hosed at the moment due to my DNS troubles anyway.
    Thanks in advance!

    And does anyone know which IP you enter for your sites in the web service? The public static IP or the internal private static IP?
    For the external DNS server I am sure you have already deduced that it should be the static IP issued you by Comcast and this will be forwarded by your router to your server.
    For your internal DNS server you could use either the internal LAN IP, or the external IP although the later might be affected by your firewall so this you will need to test.
    For the Web Server service in Server admin, if your only running a single website you could avoid the issue by just using the wildcard entry which will respond to any IP address, so this would be an empty host name and an IP address of *
    In fact you don't have to specify an IP address you could just use the hostname, so it will listen to traffic arriving at your server addressed to any IP address and as long as the URL that was requested includes the hostname you define for the site it will get responded to. So if as an example you have two websites you want to serve
    www.example.com
    site2.example.com
    then as long as both have the IP address for the site as an * (asterisk) then both should work as separate sites for traffic addressed to either the LAN or WAN IP address of the server.
    You will still need to use two IP addresses on the server to enable VPN, you could use a USB Ethernet adapter for the second one. Port forwarding for VPN is not as simple as other traffic as VPN requires traffic different to the standard IP and UDP packets. Routers that support 'VPN Passthrough' are specifically designed to accomodate this but I don't know if the AirPort Extreme does this. I have also found PPTP copes better with this sort of setup than L2TP although PPTP is generally regarded as less secure.

  • What's the benefit of creating Forward Lookup Zones?

    Once I install the DNS Server (using Windows Server 2008 R2).
    Do I need to create a new Forward Zone? Why?
    Believe you can do it, and you will!!

    Hi Ralph,
    Yes you do, otherwise you will not be able to query hostname to ip address, for instance say you have dev machine, the hostname is devmachine, if you try to rdp, ping...etc you will not be able to do so, it will throw an error, hostname not found

  • Webi reports based on the BW query that sits on top of BW Infoset

    Hi everyone,
    I do can create the BW OLAP connection on BW Infosets, but when I use the Bex Query and try to create the report, when I launch the report in Webi, it doesn't return any values, but when I launch the Bex Query itself, it does have data!
    Any ideas why this happens?
    I don't have any filters, it's a simple test query and test report.
    Thanks!

  • DNS: Forward Lookup Domain with Just the MX Record

    Our Active Directory domain is olddomain.com. I have a Forward Lookup Zone for olddomain.com with CNAME, MX, and many A records. The MX record points to an internal mail server.
    We just acquired newdomain.com.
    newdomain.com is resolving to external DNS and it works. However, I need to route the internal mail flow of newdomain.com to our internal mail server and not have it pass out to the internet before coming back in.
    I would like to add JUST the mx record for newdomain.com to DNS. All other lookups (newdomain.com,  subdomains.newdomain.com, etc) should work exactly as they do now.
    I have had two thoughts how to do this, but need advice:
    Can I have all newdomain.com DNS lookups point to an external DNS, except for the one MX record?
    Can I have all newdomain.com resolve to olddomain.com IPs (including subdomains), except for the newdomain.com MX?
    I tried adding a new Forward Lookup Zone for newdomain.com with just the SOA, two NS, and the MX record. This broke resolution for http://newdomain.com and http://www.newdomain.com until I added two A records. I do not want to be manually adding records
    for all of our newdomain.com subdomains.
    What do you recommend?
    Thank you in advance!

    Can I have all newdomain.com DNS lookups point to an external DNS, except for the one MX record?
    You cannot as you will face the problem you already described.
    However, you might think about doing it that way:
    Get a copy of your external DNS zone (If you can do it of course) using
    NSlookup: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/29184.nslookup-for-beginners.aspx
    Create a zone named newdomain.com
    Develop a script that will create all the DNS records from the extracted copy except for the MX record
    Can I have all newdomain.com resolve to olddomain.com IPs (including subdomains), except for the newdomain.com MX?
    Same answer as before.

  • Application directory Partition, Reverse lookup Zone , after Installation of Tree Domain

    I have multiple domains (Windows Server 2008 Enterprize, and funtional level 2008) in an exisiting forest
    after installation of new Tree domain i am facing the problem in creating reverse zone in DNS
    Error message
    "the partition to replicate zone data top all dns server that domain controllers on the active directory ws not created. The application directory partition operation failed. the domain controller holding the domain naming master role is down or unable
    to service the request or is not running windows 2003"
    plz reply soon i am facing a trouble .
    Wajahat

    The error message states that your domain naming master role holder is down or not responding.
    First, you need to identify which one of your DCs is the holder of this FSMO role: You can use
    netdom query fsmo command for that. If there is no DC that is currently holding this FSMO role then you need to size to one of them: https://support.microsoft.com/KB/255504?wa=wsignin1.0
    If one of your DCs is holding the role then you need to check why it is not responding or unreachable. This could be checked by running
    dcdiag on this DC to do a health check.
    I would also recommend that you refer to recommendations I shared here: http://www.ahmedmalek.com/web/fr/articles.asp?artid=23

  • Set up time zone in ipad calendar

    Hi,
    is there any possibility to set up time zone for some event? In Mail.app on Mac OS X I create the event and set what time zone is this in and the event change the time according to my time zone. Is this possible also in iPad somehow.
    For example: I live in Czech Republic UTC+2 (summer time) and I want to add the WWDC event into my calendar, which is at 10 a.m. pacific time. Is this possible on iPad or I have to count the correct time?
    Thanks

    mm, that doesn't sound so comfortable. I'll stay with the time counting.
    Thanks for reply;)
