==== Domain Conroller + DNS Server ====

  * If this is only DC+DNS server
    * Set client DNS setting to local (private) IP address
    * Not 127.0.0.1
  * If there is another DC+DNS server
    * Set the primary client DNS setting to the private IP address of the other DC+DNS server
    * Set the secondary client DNS setting to the private IP address of this DC+DNS server

==== Domain Members ====

  * Set workstation/member server primary to closest/local DNS server
  * Set workstation/member server secondary to remote/alternate DNS server
  * Do not use public DNS servers
