Hi David,
First of all I would like to know as to why you have an external DNS server
Authoritattive for the internal network. Prima facie It seems like yr DNS
structure is not proper. What is the release of WIN2K that you are running
is it the Beta 3 or the RC2??? We hv tested windows 2000 in an experimental
setup and everything seems to work OK wrt DNS. If you can perhaps send me
more details regd yr DNS setup I might be able to help.

Subject: Multihomed DNS and Win2k
I am running an internal DNS which is authoritive for mydomain.com
and an
external DNS which is also authorative for mydomain.com.
External hosts can only see the external DNS and internal hosts look
to
the internal DNS as primary and the external as secondary.
I have had no problems with this set up until Win2k machines began
to make
an appearance.
It looks like the Win2k machines will sometimes go to the secondary
DNS in
preferance to primary - thus retrieving incorrect information (ie. they
fail to resolve names of internal hosts just like an external request would)
Could anyone advise me if there is a way to change this behaviour of
Win2k, or even confirm this behaviour? Alternately if my DNS structure
seems incorrect could you point me to information indicating how to
correctly structure.
Thanks
