[leaf-user] [OT] Windows 2003 SBS behind leaf router

[Boris <bo...@ca...>]

Hej all,


I'm sorry to annoy you with that off-topic theme, but I'm quite sure
there is somebody with the right knowledge on this list because the
setup is quite common and I'm hoping strongly for help. Here's the story:

I have a small network connected to the web with a Bering uClibc that
works as dhcpd and of course dns server. Center of the network is a
Windows 2003 SmallBusinessServer as domain-controller, file-, print-,
and MSSQL-server. The network is slow and I get a lot of serious errors
in the event-logs that seem to cause the bad performance:

> event-id 4004: The DNS server was unable to complete directory service
enumeration of zone .. This DNS server is configured to use information
obtained from Active Directory for this zone and is unable to load the
zone without it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly
and repeat enumeration of the zone. The event data contains the error.

> event-id 4015: The DNS server has encountered a critical error from
the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning
properly. The event data contains the error.

I agree my question is quite flat but it is simple: What should I look
for and what can I do?

My own brain puts out something like this:

- I don't want to make the windows server dncpd.

- afaik Windows Active Diretory needs the own DNS-Service, so it's
impossible to deactivate it.

- Could the problem be solved through building something like a
dns-cascade (windows-server asks bering-box -> bering-box asks
windows-server). How can I do something like this?

Thanks a lot for your ideas!

Boris
