GTM to forward selective zone traffic to DNS

Hi,

 

We have 3 GTMs. Requirement is to have GTM forward selective zone traffic to different dns severs. Details below

 

 

DNS1-zone1.com

 

DNS2-zone2.com

 

 

So zone1.com should go to DNS1 & zone2.com should go to DNS2. Clients use GTM as there primary DNS servers.

 

 

1- How can this be done?

 

They way i am think is to have forwarding zones in GTM & just add forwarders in them. e-g

 

Forward Zone zone1.com (forward to DNS1.com)

 

Forward Zone zone2.com (forward to DNS2.com)

 

2- Will the reverse lookup IP to NAME work?

 

 

Thanks.

    Hi,

    You could do the following in order to create the zone files for your forwarding zones that contains only information to forward DNS queries to another nameserver on a per-zone (or per-domain) basis:

    Go to DNS ›› Zones : ZoneRunner : Zone List ›› New Zone...

    In General Properties configure:

    Your Zone Name 
Zone Type as Forward
Add forwarders { IP_Address_of_your_DNS1_nameserver; };

    I hope this helps.
