Hi All,

A client whose web site I host called this morning with an internal name
resolution problem, affecting pinging and much more importantly sql named
pipe odbc connections, effectively breaking their entire internal network.

Setup:
I host DNS for client domain, with *.xyz.com and xyz.com pointing to an
external IP on my server (note the *)
Client found setting on DHCP server where by .xyz.com could be appended to
requests.
Gateway/Router setup to resolve external request first.

Solution:
Disabled DHCP and added lmhost files to each server with correct name
resolution and everything is working correctly again.

My question is: By adding the wildcard catch all to DNS could/did I break
the internal network? I cant see how, but the client seems to think my
adding the wildcard catch all was responsible.

Thanks,
Duane
