[OPLINLIST] Active directory.

[Chris Brose]

For those who have configured Active Directory for Windows 2000 Server at 
their libraries:

Are there any comments on using a local DNS server, compared to using 
Oplin's DNS server for your Active Directory configuration?

We are finally implementing Active Directory and doing away with our 
multiple standalone servers.   At the moment I am setting up the PDC, and I 
am going to configure Active Directory and the DNS server on the same box.

I know that Active Directory needs a properly configure DNS server to 
function correctly and wanted some pros and cons between a local DNS server 
and using the ISP's DNS servers.

Thanks.
