Jeffrey just tried an nslookup query (results below) on two WS2K8 servers (one is R2) on two different networks and both resolved (both are DCs with DNS installed):
Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.insead.edu Address: 213.182.38.52 Is it possible an upstream DNS forwarder is blocking access? Sincerely, Jeffrey and Mary Jane Harris VIPCS _____ From: m b [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2010 11:15 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 2K8R2 DNS anomaly Within our forest, all domain controllers are DNS servers. We've been working to upgrade from 2K3 to 2K8. Most of those that are upgraded are 2K8R2, while a few are just 2K8. I have heard some reports from users that they were unable to access certain websites that they were able to access from home. Today's example is www.insead.edu <http://www.insead.edu/> . When I do an nslookup against any of our 2K8R2 DNS servers, the lookup fails to resolve. If I do that same lookup against any 2K3 or 2K8 DNS server, it is successful. I'm not seeing any common event log errors/warnings among the 2K8R2 DNS servers. My only hunch is root hints.
