Internal DNS on the KCN
We've recently implemented an internal DNS structure on the KCN. This means that if you try to access a resource based at another school from within the KCN, this should now work automatically.
So, for example, if I'm at school A but I normally work for school B, I can visit http://mail.schoolb.kent.sch.uk and access my emails remotely via the web client for my mail server without any fuss. Previously this would have required fiddling with DNS and creating dummy zones at 'school A' but will now work seamlessly.
To ensure that you benefit from this you'll need to be using the KCN forwarders (172.31.81.46 - primary for West Kent and 172.31.49.46 - primary for East Kent) where the zones are located.
Neat eh!
