Do you get proper results? You might try deleting all the forwarders, and then re-entering them. It almost looks like the cache entries the DNS server is pre-loading (to enable the forwarders and root hints) are corrupt. It's been years, but as I recall, that stuff is kept in the registry, but can be recreated from a file on disk. Google "cache.dns" to see if I remember correctly. :) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ This email and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
