Insufficient information. Typically speaking, the left-most "wrk" would be a host record in the zone "wrk.ads.company.com". Perfectly legal from a DNS perspective.
Is this an AD integrated zone? If so, use dnscmd to (I _think_ that was part of the resource kit on Windows 2000 - I don't remember 100% though) dump the zone and hunt for the record. Otherwise, search through the file on disk. Regards, Michael B.

Some may have seen my "Island DNS" posting earlier; that seems to be resolved. Now I have a new problem ... "The DNS server was unable to load a resource record (RR) from the directory at wrk.wrk.ads.company.com in zone ads.company.com." The AD parent zone name is "ads", and the child domain zone is "wrk". So what is with the "wrk.wrk"? My parent (or forest) DNS has the AD-integrated zone "ads", with an sub-entry for "wrk". We also have a primary zone called "company.com" - created because we need to access our external website, and this zone holds records with the internal address of our external webservers. Oddly, this primary zone seems to have a sub-zone called "ads", which looks to be a complete replica of our AD-integrated "ads" zone, complete with "wrk" zone entry. We have no idea why it's there, or how it got there; it's probably been in place before any of us started here. I'm wondering if the DNS is confused, and is looking for a resource record in the sub-zone of wrk under this ads under the primary zone. It's confusing, I know. :-) Me, I'd love to just delete the whole "ads" zone under the primary zone "company.com", but I'm afraid of what might (will?) break when I do that. dnslint comes up fine - no errors, warnings, nothing.
