I have installed 2 DC's on my network (W2K8 R2) both serve as a replicate DC on my domain.

On one of them (DC1) there is also a DHCP server running.

On both I have a DNS server running.

I am trying to understand the difference in the settings within the DHCP of Server Options and Scope Options.

enter image description here

As I understand it: On the server options, I should put an external DNS for system (lets say 8.8.8.8 - google) And on the scope options, I should put both my internal dc1 and dc2 IP's as the server. - which are than distributed to my domain clients.

Is that correct?

Is there a better way?

Do I need to add loopback address as well?
