Which domains should be added?

Any domain name which has a forward lookup zone on your local DNS servers must be added, along with any domains that are configured with conditional forwarders. If you already know which domains to add, skip the Add A & PTR Records for the VAs section.

On Windows Server, this information is located in the DNS Manager tool.

  1. Open the DNS Manager (Start > Run > and type "dnsmgmt.msc").
  2. Expand the Server name and Forward Lookup Zones sections.

    Any domains listed here are treated as local by your local DNS forwarders. Add these domains to your internal domains list in Secure Access. This is a critical part of the setup process.

  3. If any public IPs are in use as local IPs, also add the Reverse Lookup Zone of any public IPs which have local DNS records attached. RFC-1918 reverse lookup zones are included by default. These are entered in the in-addr.arpa format.

     
    Be aware that it can take up to 10 minutes for the virtual appliance to synchronize with changes you make to the Internal Domains list.
