Comments in line....
>>Presumably, by this you mean these are three distinct subnets, using a
class c? (ie 255.255.255.0 subnet mask)
Yes, that is correct. All three are distinct networks.
>> Does the DC do any routing? What does it's routing table look like?
No. No routing at all.
>> Are all these subnets included in sites and services?
Good point.. .Checking now... Nothing... Although, now that I look at it, a
site is what I should have for each of these subnets. However, when I first
read about sites, I took it to be locations away from your distinct network.
It appears it can be both - inter and intra....
>> Are you asking for the algorithm used for a machine (windows 2000
onwards) to obtain site information, and thus the appropriate DC?
Not necessarily the algorithm per say, but what does the client actually
send the DC. Is it a broadcast asking for DCs, then what? Make sense?
>> Do all three interfaces register in DNS?
>> If you use nslookup (in interactive mode), do a set type=srv, and request
_ldap._tcp.<DNS name of your domain> what do you get - and is it what you
expect?
Yes, that was the first thing that I checked. It appears to be working
fine. I'm not sure how to use the interactive mode - never tried it...
Gonna learn quickly as I research it... However, by doing a NSLookup on the
DC "zeus" I get the following:
Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
(C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>nslookup zeus
Server: zeus.sandhills.edu
Address: 172.16.12.25
Name: zeus.sandhills.edu
Addresses: 172.16.12.25, 172.16.20.25, 198.85.71.237
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>
It appears to be working fine... From what I can see. I did put ptr records
in for each of the subnets in the Forward LookUp Zones. I can't find my
notes, but I remember reading somewhere on why to do that. Each of the
subnets has a reverse lookup zone as well.
