 Security is generally centralized in a security provider,

INSTALL DNS ON WINDOWS SERVER 2003

Before installing and configuring DNS on our server we have to perform some

preliminary tasks. Specifically, we have to configure the server with a static IP

address and a DNS suffix. The suffix will be used to fully-qualify the server name. To

begin:

 When the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) window

comes up, enter an IP address , subnet mask

and default gateway IP addresses that are all

compatible with your LAN.

SETTING UP A CACHE-ONLY DNS SERVER
