AD DNS servers across WAN


hi, have inherited network looks running 2 separate dns servers on each side of wan. both dcs of same domain.

issue 1 side of wan has trouble pinging dhcp clients on other side.

each side has own dhcp , dns, , looks neither dns setup secondary..

question best practice in situation? if setup site 2 secondary dns server, have same issues resolving dhcp clients?

thanks,

dekkar

if understand problem, having troubles ping clients on other site. if case can start following steps:

  • try ping client on other site using ip address. if successful while not case when ping using dns name there should problem dns resolution. check it, can use nslookup. if clients not getting registered need check dns servers accept dns dynamic registration , computers configured register dns records (if not can try temporary disable security software in use might blocking dns registration too)
  • if ip ping not successful problem should not related dns resolution. in case, need make sure icmp not blocked firewall (on computer or network level). tracert should let know on level icmp requests getting dropped.
