Long story short, a server that was housed with another company has been moved into our building. It is standalone and was accessed via the web. Currently our environment has one web server and 4 other member servers all behind a domain.
When bringing in this new server, it will be totally isolated and not added to our domain. We currently just have it plugged into our firewall that's between our servers and the internet connection on the wall. What would be some of the configuration needed? I'm sure it had a static IP (Waiting on getting login credentials so no idea, it's running ESX) and a static DNS (that would be the likely case?), so by bringing it to our new environment, would anything need to be changed? If it was using it's previous ISP's DNS server, that could stay the same as it's still connected to the internet, right?
I guess I'm really wondering how would the routes find out that the server is now hosted at a different location, if it keeps the same IP? When we connected it back to the internet, would it attempt to contact the primary DNS?
Thanks.
