Hi,

encounter this strange problem on some of my user PC. Users are running XP
pro SP2.

User will interimittently be unable to resolve FQDN of certain hosts from
our DNS servers. After about a few minutes they will be able to resolve
automatically or after doing ipconifg /flushdns manually. NSLOOKUP during the
problem works perfectly.

During the problem, when doing a ipconfig /displaydns, the non-resolvable
host name is there but with a "Name does not exist" record. Resolution to
other host names in the same domain works. A check of the host record of the
non-resolvable host in the DNS zone file shows it is still there. The DNS
event log does show any possible error.

The DNS servers is hosted on 2 DC running win2k3 SP1. The zone is setup as
standard primary zone with dynamic update enabled on the DC running as the
SOA. The zone is not AD intergrated but a normal zone.

To troubleshoot this problem we have tried to point users to the 2nd DC but
the problem still surface intermittently. We setup another DNS server running
win2k3 just hosting DNS service. The problem still remains.

Anyone have any solution on this ? TIA.

Are the clients using only the DNS server that support the AD domain?
No ISP, no router IP's allowed to be used for DNS on any member of an AD
domain. All DNS servers used by clients must be able to resolve the AD
domain plus all internet resolution the clients need.
