Consul + Windows DNS

Consul
1

Hi,

I work in a compagny with many Microsoft Active Directory Domains (and so Windows DNS Server).
I am investigating the use of Consul for new services but I don’t know if it’s easy to link Windows DNS with the Consul Dynamic DNS Service.
What are the best practices for this ?

Thanks you

Hi,
As you know, Consul has its own DNS server capability. So you need to forward all server and clients’ DNS queries to the Consul DNS (open ports 8600, 53). You can do that with “delegation” in Microsoft DNS server. Create the proper zones in DNS. Thats it. Consul will answer the DNS queries to your clients and servers.
