DNS Forwarding With Linux Box

[wyseguy79]

*Looking for Help*
Ok heres my question.. I know you smart people have the answer. I currently have a Redhat box as my DNS Server, I set up a seperate box that is WIN NT. what do I have to change in the DNS file to make it point to the IP of the NT Box. Im not totaly sure of what the DNS file changes would be. That and I must say I had a really easy time setting up DNS for all my domains on Linux then I did on NT.
If anyone can help, let me know

*i don't know if it would work, but it's a starting point, atleast :}

Well it kinda had what i was getting to, but i thought it was possible to edit the domain.com DNS file in my /var/named/zone Folder. Like as in


domain.com. IN A IP
ns IN A IP
ftp IN CNAME Domain.com
mail IN CNAME Domain.com.
www IN CNAME Domain.com.

I figured there was a OUT line or something so that i would know to look on another IP for the website content.

Thanx..

the IN identifies the protocol type.
INternet.
if www.domain.com (http://www.domain.com) IN A ip.ad.of.nt
and you are running the webserver on the NT box this won't work unless it has a public ip.
If you are behind a firewall, point www. at the firewall, and PORTFORWARD the 80 port to the nt box.
