Active Directory and Linux DNS

[jhoppe]

Hello all,

I've got a client who has a win 2003 server (currently not Active Directory), and several Linux servers, one of which is running Bind. My question is, am I able to install Active Directory to the win 2003 server, and at the same time, leave Bind alone? Or would I be able to install DNS onto the AD server but simply have that dns for internal naming resolution and leave Bind to the external resolution and for the web server?

Thanks!

depending on the version of BIND being used, you can make AD work:

Thanks for the reply...it was working, but the login to the domain was slow. So, I just pointed the clients to the AD DNS, and they are fine....

Also found out it wasn't BIND that he used, but DNS something or other. Nothing I've heard of before, but as long as webmin can control it, its all good...
