                Hi Barbara,
                
                Thanks for getting the book! But one thing about my
books, it's like going to a medical school clinical lecture. If I'm
lecturing about evacuating epidural hematomas, you have to listen to the
whole thing -- you can't wink out during the time I'm talking about
preparing the skull and post-evacuation tamponade.
                
                So, what you missed are the assumptions on page 493,
which was that you don't have any other servers on your network, and
thus we are installing a DNS server on the ISA firewall.  Is that
assumption correct for your network?

                        Thanks to everyone for their help. It is working
now, but something is still not right. If I set up the client computers
to use  the ISA server as a web proxy server then no Internet access.
The ISA 2000  server was set up this way and it worked great.
                        
                         
                         
                        In answer to your questions Dr. Tom, I was
following the instructions in your book that said to set up the ISA
server as  a caching only DNS server. I configured the internal DNS
server to use the  ISA's DNS server as its forwarder and I created the
rule you stated. The  client computers are using the internal DNS
server.
                        
                         
                         
                        Any ideas on what else could be  wrong?

                                Hi Barbara,
                                
                                 
                                 
                                Why are you running a DNS server on the
ISA firewall?  Is this configured as a caching only DNS server? If so,
you configure the  internal DNS server to use the ISA firewall's DNS
server as it's forwarder,  and you need to create a rule that allows the
internal DNS server access to  the Local Host Network for the DNS
protocol.
                                
                                 
                                 
                                Also, the clients should not be using
the ISA  firewall's caching only DNS server as their DNS server, they
should be using  the internal DNS server for both internal and external
name  resolution.
                                
                                 
                                 
                                Keep in mind that the caching only DNS
server on the  ISA firewall is a poor man's solution. The best solution
is to have DNS  resolvers on a DMZ segment.

                        Hello, it's me again. :-)
                        
                        I set up this server as a caching  only DNS
server following the instructions 
                        in the ISA Server 2004 book  by Dr. Tom and I
can access the Internet on this 
                        server, but not on  any of the internal
computers. I get the "Can not find 
                        server or DNS  error". I can ping the router
through this server, but can't 
                        get  anywhere on the Internet. Everything works
fine through the old ISA 2000  
                        server, but when I switch over to the new one
you can't go anywhere.  Would 
                        someone please point me in the right direction
to resolve this  matter?
                        
                        Thank you,
                        Barbara Causey
