What is conditional forwarding?
Rating:
Conditional forwarding is a new feature of Windows 2003 DNS. It provides administrators the ability to configure a DNS server to forward queries conditionally, based on the domain specified in the name resolution request. By configuring conditional forwarding, administrators can ensure that a DNS query generated to resolve host name of a particular domain is directly forwarded to the authoritative DNS server of that domain. Conditional forwarding reduces the host name resolution time by sending DNS queries directly to the authoritative DNS servers of the host's domain.
