Ensuring DNS resolves in NRPC -- A practice to use with caution
The following practice, if followed precisely, should ensure good DNS resolves in NRPC for companies with multiple DNS domain levels, but might result in extra work if the infrastructure changes. Using this practice has the following disadvantages:
When you have multiple DNS domain levels
If your company uses multiple DNS domain levels -- for example, when each country in which a multinational company has offices is a subdomain in DNS -- do the following:

1. Use the server's FQDN as the Domino server common name.

2. Create an A record (or, for IPv6, AAAA record) in DNS.

For example, if you register a server with DNS as app01.germany.acme.com, you can also assign the Domino server's common name as app01.germany.acme.com. In this case, the server's Domino hierarchical name might be app01.germany.acme.com/Sales/Acme.
