Can u guide me pls ??? |
This wiki page
Split DNS - Zimbra :: Wiki describes specifically how to configure Split DNS on a Zimbra box (I know you want to configure DNS on your Windows server), but the first part of the article explains why DNS needs to be configured this way and how Zimbra relies on DNS.
If it were me, I would set up DNS on your Zimbra server anyway for the reasons given in the wiki article, but make the BIND installation on Zimbra a Slave to your Windows Master DNS.
Doing so will take some extra configuration work you'll need to research, but will save you from having to make manual zone change entries in two different places. If you don't expect to make many changes in your zone file and you have little experience configuring DNS, then you may be better off just following the wiki article, and each time you do make a change to DNS, just remember to make it in both the Windows and the Zimbra BIND DNS. It's your call.
The wiki article has tests you can run which will let you know when you have gotten everything sorted out properly.
Hope that helps,
Mark
