I need to create a static entry in my dns server (windows2008) so that entries for any particular domain (e.g. yahoo.com) resolves to a specific IP address. It seems that my ISP is having problems with their domain information and we keep getting the incorrect information from their DNS servers.

Question: How do I add this entry?

A better solution would be to:

  1. Use different forwarders, such as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

OR

  1. Use root hints instead of forwarders

Instead of creating a static entry you could create a conditional forward for yahoo.com to a public DNS server such as google's (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4). This would avoid problems if you have other forwarders setup for your DNS needs.

The conditional forward will only forward requests for yahoo.com to the server specified, rather than forwarding all unresolved requests.
