Guest West Seattleite Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Can anyone tell me if it's possible (and if so, point me in the right direction) to enter a domain name in a Win2k Server (SP4) running DNS and AD, that points to a specific ip address within my private network? For instance, say I have 10 workstations with static ip's ranging from 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.11. How do I tell my server that 192.168.0.6 should also be known as thisisatest.com? If you're interested in the reason, it's because I have two CDP appliances (continuous data protection), one of which is backing up my server. The second one will be backing up the first one and will eventually be located at my home. But I want to "seed" it first while it's connected to my network so I don't have to send 50 gigs across our fairly slow internet connection. The makers of the device say that when the address of the second unit changes all of the data is wiped clean and it starts the seeding process over. I have one of those dynamic ip domain services providing my dynamic ip at home with a domain name and I want to tell my server that domain name (for the time being) is actually located on my network at work. When the device is seeded I remove that domain name on the server, take the device home, enter a specific port in my router and the device picks up where it left off. Thanks in advance from the technologically handicapped... Jordon

Thanks for that James, but I have no idea how to do that. I have full administrator rights to our server. Jordon
