| Hi!
We use SBS 6.5 sp 1 WEB (Apache) server.
On other SBS 6.5 (same tree) is a DNS-DHCP server.
I am considering to add another site with another domain to our server.
Do we need to tell our ISP about the new domain or it is enough to
define it on our DNS-DHCP server?
Other things to take in consideration?
TIA

If you register the domain and manage the authoritative dns server for
your domain, it is enough for you to define it on your server. If you
use your ISP for a secondary server then you will have to work with them
to get that part setup.

That depends whether your DNS is authoritative and if you want it to be
visible from the outside.

| Thanks!
Now, other questions:
- Where \ how shall I register?
- How Can I change my Dns server to an authoritative one?
TIA

www.networksolutions.com is where I've registered my domains.

That is done on whatever site your domain is registered with. If your
ISP registered and is hosting your current domain, they will have to
move the domain for you. If you just want to register a new domain and
make your server authoritative for that domain, it can all be done by
you when you register.

| What I need is to transfer other domain which is hosted at other company
and to host it on our server as a second domain.
Our tree us a SBS 6.5 sp1 with 3 servers one of them os the BM, the
second (NAT) the DNS-DHCP \ GW and the third is the WEB (NAT).
What are the pros and cons to make our DNS\DHCP server authoritative?
TIA

Pros are that you have the domain under your control I suppose. If you
make infrequent changes to the domain, it doesn't really benefit too much.
Cons are a little more traffic for dns queries.... not a significant
amount of traffic though.
