I'm having a strange DNS issue on a lot of our client Windows 7 workstations that I've narrowed down to the following:
When the DNSCache (DNS Client) service is running:
- Clients cannot resolve four particular hostnames
- Clearing the DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns) and then pinging the hosts creates a record that says "<hostname>: the host does not exist"
When I stop the DNSCache, suddenly all hostnames resolve correctly.
I've deleted the hostnames and readded them to the DNS server (running Server 2k8).
I've flushed the client DNS caches.
I've checked the client host files for errant entries.
Can anyone point me in roughly the right direction?
