Leave the DNS settings in Exchange 2000 alone (SMTP VS properties, Delivery, Advanced, configure DNS servers). Instead, let it use the DNS servers that are specified in the TCP/IP properties of the network card. I heard at one point that adding DNS servers to the SMTP VS causes Exchange to perform lookups slower than if you let your DNS servers do the lookups. I'll see if I can find anything to support that, but I know it's been discussed before. Perhaps not here - it could have been another list, but I know it has been discussed.

If so, what is the default settings and where/how it can be changed? Also can EX2K be configured to use an IP address, instead of the host name in DNS? If so, where/how it can be configured?
