i am running my own internal dns and have programmed the fios router Network (Home/Office) connection settings with the appropriate ip for my internal dns. everything seems to be working (dhcp hosts can resolve internal and external addresses correctly)
the problem/issue/bug occurs when i enter my domain name into the 'local domain' on System Settings page. local dns name resolution seems to start failing when i do this.
is there any real reason to enter a domain name into local domain field
maybe i should just leave it blank and call it a day.
any thoughts

No reason to enter a domain name, just ignore it.
I actually set it in my router and have no problem with DNS. The local domain that I entered there is actually the name of the internal network Active Directory domain and also the workgroup name of the non-domain member machines.
Possibly your issue is that your internal machines have a different workgroup name to what you set in the Local Domain.
thanks for the reply. i think i am starting to understand what the fios router is trying to do regarding DNS.
lets say my AD is domain.org and i have a DNS server. None of my workstations are actually part of the AD domain, just a workgroup called domain (i know, but i started with a workgroup and didn't want to break anything moving them all to the domain, don't shot me). btw i am not running WINS which might solve my problem just haven't tried it.
my problem:
i have two workstations that have static ips and dns entries in my dns server. the problem is they can find other dhcp clients/workstations by name because these ips are registered with the fios dhcp server/dns server.
one solution:
if i set the the fios 'local domain' to domain.local and add domain.local to the domain search order in the two workstations with static IPs, i can see the fios dhcp clients.
my preference would be to have only one domain name across the entire setup, ie domain.org
i have thought about turning off the fios dhcp server, and using mine exclusively, but do not know what affect that will have on the fios STBs. i do know they need an node addr in the .100 to .107 range.
thoughts?

I can think of two options for name searching. 1 Turn on WINS, thats its primary use now, and the default first search for all NT based machines unless you have uninstalled the protocal on the PC's. 2- Subnet you network with your router behind the Verizon router and add a DNS entry to forward non domain requests through the Verizon router/gateway to an external DNS source.
well i guess i will try the WINS option as i basically am doing #2 already. i do have two subnets with a dns on the opposite subnet from the fios router. and I do have my dns ip in the forwarding entries in the fios router which works assuming the fios local domain value is different than the domain name in my dns server. The fios dns server also won't resolve its own dhcp clients addresses unless it has a "local domain" value. does all that sound right?

This statmenet is a little confusing. If I'm reading it correctly you have turned on DHCP services on your domain controller too. As you don't mention having a second router in the picture having 2 dhcp server active on the same subnet will cause you lots of problems.
sorry for the confusion. I am not currently running dhcp on my domain controller, only on the fios router. i do have two subnets (the fios subnet and subnet two) with a router between them.
i turned on the WINS server on subnet two and added it to the dhcp configuration on the fios router and i think everything is working pretty well.
Hi,Nice Post ,I have an such a knowledge with us, i am using this http://www.tucktail.com/ site's domain name and hosting site ,still now there is no problem for my site,for your problem you may try this site.All the best.
