Hello

Apologies if this is already answered, its a tricky one to search for! We are using split DNS for a domain used internally. For the outside nameservers, theres a simple zone with:

@   IN A ip.ad.dr.ess
www IN A ip.ad.re.ss

This works fine externally. Internally its a windows server 2003 DNS server, so the www a record works fine, but I cant figure out how to add that primary record (using at symbol @ in bind).

Can anyone help with how to get the same results from windows dns? I just want to be able to add a record for domain.com without being forced to use something.domain.com

Thanks,

Edit: This domain is not the "main" AD domain, and not used for logins etc.
