You need to design your namespace and DNS zones to provide fast and efficient lookups while
maintaining as secure an environment as possible, especially in branch office locations.
Further, you need to minimize network traffic.
1. It has been suggested that you use secondary zones at the branch sites to provide a
better resource lookup experience. The branch sites do not have domain controllers.
What are the pluses and minuses of using secondary zones at the branch offices, and
what other solutions might you consider?
2. There is a lot of computer name churn in the IT department as they continually build and
rebuild clients and servers to support ever-changing assignment requirements. This name
churn includes both static DNS names and DHCP names. What are your options to reduce
the management overhead to the system administrators?
3. Consider the DNS churn and management overhead in the Information technology
department DNS structure from a broader perspective. What other steps might you
suggest?
