How can I prevent my domain controller doing forward lookups for remote users?
- by markmnl
I have a Windows Server 2003 server in the office. I VPN into the LAN remotely.
My VPN has a virtual NIC with the Windows Server as the primary DNS since it is a domain controller. When connected to the VPN and I do an nslookup or simply browse the web the DNS from the VPN provides the DNS answers.
I believe this is because it has DNS forwarders, so queries it can't answer are forwarded and then it relays the answer.
This is the desired behavior for workstations in the office (they should query their domain controller first); however for remote VPN users this is not desirable.
I do not want my remote office's server to answer DNS queries it is not the authority of (which happens to be 192.168.x.x).
Is there any way I can configure this?
