It is a Windows 2000 server, SP 4 running Exchange 2000 SP3 for about 20 users. Not really high load at all.

Is the DNS server a Windows server 200x server under very high query load with a large cache?

Hi All and Happy New Year to everyone,

I am monitoring a number of my client’s servers via a VPN tunnel and there is this one server that is setup just like all the others but it keeps reporting that the DNS services goes down. Then on the next poll (or so) the services comes back to life. Life is fine for 30 to 90 minutes when the DNS goes down again. I have the alarm trigger set to 4. I have checked the server and there are no entries in the event log for problems.

Any thoughts on what could be causing the DNS to fail and then reappear?

Thanx
