W2kServer DNS issue

[bd1102]

Running DNS on my w2k DC I have to clear cache on the DN server almost every othe day, but only for msn.com.
So at our small company any web site works and loads, but msn.com will not load???
After I clear DNS server cache msn.com works fine again.
Anybody see this?

LOL, you must be joking right?

Do you have the dc server pointing to itself as prmary dns server in tcp/ip properties? If not you should....

Mattwary, thanks I think that solved it. i was more curious to why this happens but a bandaid works for now.

Mlichstein- LOL No one in IT knows it all!
We all have strenghs and weaknesses.
Thanks for playing.

Tread lightly here. Forging a DNS entry like that could keep you from getting to other websites that aren't off the same ip as msn.com but share the msn.com domain in some fashion.

I know I'm pointing out the obvious here but I've had some nuisances happen to me in the past doing something very similar.
