I identified the problem in my original message.  The Windows nslookup problem 
involves the failure to send DNS queries to the name server specified on the 
command line.

        nslookup alliance.gd-ais.com ns.azsd01.gd-ais.com

When used in an interactive mode, the same failure occurs.

        nslookup
        > server ns.azsd01.gd-ais.com
        > alliance.gd-ais.com

The response displayed by Windows nslookup in both cases indicate that the 
information was obtained from the specified name server.  However, if you have 
tcpdump running on the name server, you will find that the name server was 
never queried.

In each of the above cases, had the name server been queried, the user would 
have received two A records for the Internet accessible portal that allows 
employees at customer sites, customers, and vendors to access 
alliance.gd-ais.com.  What was displayed was the internal address for 
alliance.gd-ais.com.
