PING companyname.com resolves to DNS servers all over the WAN, not just local andymarbles <andymarbles[ at ]googlemail.com> 11/19/2008 2:56:55 PM Why not just the local ones? In UK DNS settings are all 10.44.x.x servers. In U.S all 10.1.x.x etc.. From a UK workstation, we ping companyname.com it resolves to DNS servers all over the WAN - some which haven't been active for ages. If we then ipconfing /flushdns and try again, a different random server is resolved. Why is this? Any help gratefully received! thanks Andy

Re: PING companyname.com resolves to DNS servers all over the WAN, not just local andymarbles <andymarbles[ at ]googlemail.com> 11/19/2008 10:15:01 PM Thank you.. I'm still a little confused why some of the ip addresses resolved are dead and have been for many months. Any way to clean it up a little, at least?
