No, hadn't seen that at all. All the descriptions I found about implementing WPAD didn't say anything about a TXT record, so I just created an A record.
I did find http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2003485 and I removed wpad from the block list, and that helps for the other DC, but I still have the problem on the DC that holds the FSMO roles. Is an A record not the correct way to do this?
