What type of dns entry did you make? I made a cname for mine to `wpad -> fqdn.server.local.` then just put a wpad.dat in the root of the default site on that server (this way I could move it transparently by only adjusting the cname if need be...)

On our main IIS box I've configured a web site called wpad, and set up a static entry in DNS on the main DC yesterday to point to it. I can't ping by name, but if I do a 'ping -a 12.34.56.78' I get the name resolution just fine. I see an 6268 event in the DNS event log that seems relevant, but not much information about it, after having visited http://eventid.net - the one comment there said something about a TXT entry, but I've searched and found only one reference to wpad.mycompany.com in DNS, no TXT or other files at all with that name. I can't even ping it from the DC running DNS. What's even more weird is that I can ping it by name from our foreign offices - this is probably something I'll need to do something about later... Anyone know what the heck is going on?
