DNS server troubleshooting Tester <calinguga[ at ]netscape.net> 10/8/2008 6:09:30 PM Hello there, I have a W2K3 primary DNS server with AD integrated zones that is exchanging its AD zone and a Unix zone with a Unix Bind server every 30 minutes. Name resolution works most of the time, but every 2 weeks or so client XP and W2K machines cannot for some reason resolve some server names that are hosted on the Unix zone. It works if I try accessing by IP or if I do a ipconfig /release/renew on the client or if I reboot the W2K3 DNS server-. Thank you, T

Problem is once in a while the DNS server itself gets stuck, rebooting it solves the problem temporarilly. Sometimes even releasing the IP does not fix it. Thanks, T

TCPIP works OK, ping, net view, etc. This is why I need some guidance to DNS troubleshooting. Thanks, T
