Clear the DNS cache on that particular server?
From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:john.hornbuc...@taylor.k12.fl.us] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 10:42 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: DNS Lookup Failing for One Address Okay, DNS wizards... I need some input. One of my DNS servers (Server 2008) is failing to resolve www.studyisland.com like so: C:\>nslookup Default Server: aoc-pet300.taylor.k12.fl.us Address: 10.11.7.13 > www.studyisland.com. Server: aoc-pet300.taylor.k12.fl.us Address: 10.11.7.13 DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds. DNS request timed out. timeout was 2 seconds. *** Request to aoc-pet300.taylor.k12.fl.us timed-out But I can point nslookup at one of my other servers (also Server 2008), and it resolves fine. Which kind of sounds like a server problem--but this server has resolved every other name I've thrown at it, though. Only this one is failing. I can point nslookup at the Norton DNS server that my failing server uses as a forwarding server (198.153.192.1), and it resolves fine. All of my other servers use that same forwarding address, too. I'm kind of going crazy here... My users desperately need to get to this site. I can't figure out what's wrong, but that's no surprise because I'm not an expert when it comes to DNS. Can anyone offer any troubleshooting pointers?
