Hello all,
Can I configure DNS resolution based on user group?
For example in company we have "www.domain.local" DNS record.
I need that some users (for example group1) solve DNS "www.domain.local" IN 192.168.1.11 and other users (for example group2) solve DNS "www.domain.local" IN 192.168.1.12
Can I do it?
Can I configure this DNS resolution?

Thanks for your help
Federico

    Not really a good solution for this since AD doesn't really work that way. You could try adding only the desired address listed for DNS on connection properties for the two groups.

    Dear @Anonymous
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    In my case all employees are in the same client VLAN (all of them are in the same site), there are not different subnet.

    Thanks

    What about adding a hosts file entry? Maybe in the users logon script?
