When I hear "expected", I usually translate it into "it's OK, don't worry about it". I see what you are saying here, but I don't think it applies in the scenario he's described. I also don't think that building another DNS server is not what Al needs to be doing right now. Let's see what DNS the DCs are using and let's find out why it's not doing its job.

Check your DNS servers. I talked to the networking people and the DNS server that is used for our test domains is a couple of major releases out of date and running on really crap hardware. Building him a new server...
