On my small one-server network (AD/DNS/WINS/DHCP all on same server), I want DNS to forward unresolved queries to my ISP's DNS servers. So I deleted the DOT ("." ForwardLookupZone and configured DNS Forwarders to point to my ISP's DNS servers.
The problem is, when I point DHCP server to my local DNS server, it does not always resolve FQDN. I can easily ping remote IP addresses, but sometimes canNOT ping the same corresponding FQDN. Nslookup gives me message "Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.2: non-existent domain. . . .", referring to my AD/DNS/WINS/DHCP server, and then nslookup gives me the correct "non-authoritative answer".
Obviously I've missed something somewhere in my setup, but I'm not sure where to look. Any pointers??
