I have heard that getting a Windows DNS to look to the root servers is
not the smartest thing to do since it does not work well. I do not know
if this is true so I have always used forwarders.
Are there any special tricks or setup rules you use to get the server to
go to the root servers or do you just use the MS defaults?
Thanx
