DNS Query Policy to make DNS server authoritative for a single host in Domain
I wish to do the following with my Windows 2016 DNS server:
- Forward all queries for test.fwd to another DNS server except for a handful of records to which I wish to be authoritative i.e. host1.test.fwd
Would this be possible with a DNS Query Policy?

Did this help? I use this for my customers a lot too
- I usually create a DNS zone named www.domain.com, for example. In that zone, you create an empty record containing the IP address of www.domain.com. Doing so will make your internal clients use that address, and all other domain.com will use the normal public addresses.
It's called a PinPoint DNS zone, how-to here https://petri.com/create-a-pinpoint-dns-zone-to-support-identical-internal-and-external-exchange-server-https-namespaces/- Thanks! Does this also make it authoritative for everything underneath that domain i.e. host.www.domain.com ?
- If you create a www.domain.com zone, then it's only that FQDN and the address that you enter. All other records, like portal.domain.com, will not be affected.
Please mark my answer as the solution to mark it as solved
