Hello everyone,

I noticed that my Windows 2000 DNS Server will not answer queries
that come from external networks. I tested this setting the
corresponding ISA server dns publishing and all the queries timed-out.
The same happened when i tried to query the server through a VPN. How
can i make the dns server answer to clients other than those in the
internal network?

Thank you.

Generally this is the behavior you want on an INTERNAL
DNS server.

Generally you public DNS server (for you public DNS zones)
should be placed (back) at the REGISTRAR.

Does it have multiple NICs? Are both NICs set (in DNS
server properties) to provide resolution?

Is the ISA server somehow forwarding to this server or
is it perhaps even blocking the requests?

You really should have separate DNS Server(s) for the
external world to query.
