We already did that in testing. All of the articles were referring to Glue issues with DNS R2 and the solve was to add forwarders per MS articles. We have used the FIOS local DNS, several different public, 4.2.2.1 and .2 are just what we left it on at the moment. Very valid points, and I completely agree. We just use them for testing in situations like this.

Unless you're a Level 3 customer, you shouldn't be tying your corporate network infrastructure to those resolvers. They're easy to remember and thus useful for trouble-shooting, but using them in production is inappropriate. It means you're potentially traversing a potentially large part of the Internet with UDP DNS traffic. It also means you're depending on a public service which could go wonky or shut you off at any time. Forwarders should be fast, local, and reliable. Your local ISP's nameservers *may* meet that criteria -- or may not. Since you're having DNS trouble, remove the forwarders and see what happens. Eliminate the obvious potential problem. Even if you are a Level 3 customer, I'd take the forwarders out to see if the trouble goes away. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
