Is there an existing domain structure in place?  If there is you need to
understand that moving a very large domain structure around may be much more
challenging than you thought, especially if you have not made yourself very
familiar with the data first.  DNS data that has been maintained in several
to many very autonomous environments can hold some really BIG surprises,
when you try and move it around using automated tools...by the way, you have
to build the automated tools too.

How much central management is done now, and is planned for the future.  If
you have no central oversight and management...real active oversight and
management, then you will probably gain little, with your single domain
concept.

What is your network infrastructure, a global private network, or many many
enclaves hung off of ISPs around the world.  A single backbone would
probably fit nice with a single domain, but does not require it.

By the way, if all of it becomes very complex, I have seen simpler problems
run through Decision Support Software like Expert Choice, to help keep the
decision making logic stable and not influenced by today's best idea.

Subject: Best DNS structure for a global company?


Hi all - I was wondering if anyone out there
could give me any feedback on a
couple of DNS solutions that my company is
currently considering
implementing one of two DNS solutions:

Solution A:
Throughout our internal network use the internet
country top-level naming
convention, ie company.de, company.co.uk,
company.us etc etc. This solution
has no hierarchy, and would require each name
server to be a name server for
every other domain.(we're in around 40 countries)

Solution B:
Use an internal route domain of company.net, and
have three sub-domains for
each of our global regions - na.company.net for
North America,
eu.company.net for Europe, and ap.company.net for
Asia Pacific.

I'm looking for non windows 2000 based reasons
for using either solution -
personally, I feel Solution 2 rules, and Solution
1 is awful, but would
appreciate any feedback on using either method -
thanks in advance....
