delete DNS record will come back again

[Andy888]

Dear all,

I am not familiar with DNS setup. Have anyone can tell me why I delete a host record in DNS forward lookup zone in my Win2K server. It will come back automatically after a period of time. Do I also need to delete this record in somewhere? Please help! Thanks in advance.

Check to see if you have a hosts file in %system%/winnt/system32/drivers/etc. This may be where it's hiding.

Thank you! Glen Johnson.

The host file only show 127.0.0.1 localhost. It's not the host record that I want to delete. My Win2K server has two NIC cards. One for outside Internet connection. One for inside Intranet connection. My domain name is setup in my DNS server. A week ago, I had setup both 192.168.0.101 and 216.x.x.x as a host record under forward lookup zone in DSN. My domain name's Website under IIS only can be assigned to 216.x.x.x. If 192.168.0.101 a host record in my DNS server under my domain name. My domain name's website can not be found when search from Internet. I don't know how can I delete my 192.168.0.101 ip in DNS forward look zone. Every time I delete it. It will automatically come back again. Is it aging or scavenge stale resource record setup issue? Please advice. Thank you.

Is it possible it's in cache? Have you tried ipconfig /flushdns?

Andy888,

If you go to the TCP/IP properties for the NIC in question, there is an Advanced button. On the DNS tab there is a check box "Register this connection's addresses in DNS." Uncheck that box and the connection should stop registering itself.

Good Luck

I had used clear cache function from the menu to reflush cache yesterday. But it doesn't work. I just tried to use ipconfig /flushdsn an hour ago. Now it still come back. Please help. Thanks

Thanks Thebrick's suggestion.

I did uncheck the Rigester this connection address in DNS box yesterday (Original was checked). But it is still come back. Although I reflushed cache.

Try a search on the entire hard drive for any referance to the ghost record. It has to be somewhere. I once had a duplicate entry in AD, but couldn't find it until I did such a search. Good luck.

I searched my hard drives. I found a file " netlogon.dns" under C:\winnt\system32\config folder that includes the IP address "192.168.0.101". I deleted it. But after an hour, I found this IP address still appear at DNS server under the domain name. The netlogon.dns file also was re-wrote back this IP address. I don't know my DNS server is replicated with my ISP DNS server or not? Please help!

Are you pointing it at itself for primary DNS?
