I have a 2k server and 2k workstations. I get errors on the workstations with event id 1000. MS says that error is because the workstation can't find the DNS. MS fix says to put the server ip as the preferred DNS server on the workstations. If I do that, the workstations don't go to the REAL DNS for internet stuff. I don't know why it's not looking to the second and third DNS servers listed if my 2k server doesn't have the info. Is there something on the server that I can set so that it will do a lookup to the root servers if it doesn't have the info?

Yes you can...
You can enable forwarders on your local DNS server, that way you can let your clients talk to your local DNS server only, and that server will be able to resolve internet names as well
If the DNS server is your primary server, then you will have to delete the . zone in your DNS + reboot before you will be able to set forwarders.
Right click on your server in the DNS snap-in, go to the properties, go to the forwarders tab, enable forwarders, and add the IP address of the ISP DNS server.
That will do the trick... Peter Van Eeckhoutte

I am having the same problem...
On my old NT4 network, I used to DNS forwarding so I understand how this is suppose to work. But the problem that I run into is that in Windows 2000, the DNS service will not allow me to add forwarders because it claims to be the root DNS server. It is the root of my local domain, but how do you get it to do recursive lookups out on the Internet?

Ok ... found my answer shorly after posting. Here is what I found just in case someone else is having the same problem.
Look under "Configure DNS Forwarders"
