RE: DNS and Active Directory

AD does not require that you use Windows' DNS -- but the DNS you do use must
support SRV records and dynamic update and I'm not sure that OS/400's DNS
server does.

Subject: DNS and Active Directory

Hi,

Is anyone using AS/400 DNS as their primary DNS server in an Active 
Directory network and bypassing Windows DNS altogether?

If so what steps did you take.

I am not a DNS guru but we are using AS/400 DNS on our V5R2 box (bind 
8.2.5) as our primary server and want to keep it that way.

The less we rely on Windows 200X the better.

So if anyone has any info I would really appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks

Regards,
