MS-DNS Question

[schase]

Hi all,

Here goes - I know I know not on one machine. But heres what I have

Small Business Server 2000, running IIS, Email Server (Merek), DHCP, DNS, AD. Internet connection sharing,

Now on the primary address, elpasohonda.com (which the server is registered under too)
There was 4 folders created in this zone when I attempted to set up ISA also.
_msdcs, _sites, _tcp, _udp

I have the normal records set up in this zone, www, mail, etc. But there is also
many others - in fact there is one host record per domain I am hosting, as well as several
internal IP numbers for DHCP clients. - as well as the internal nic address.

I was advised that pretty much if it does not seem to be affecting anything leave it.

But now I'm getting dns failures pretty regularly. My other zones seem to be a-ok.

Am I safe in deleting this entire zone and restarting? do I need the DHCP IP addresses
as well as the internal nic address?, etc?

Thank you

Most, if not all, of those extra entries are for AD. I'd leave deleting and recreating the AD Integrated zone for last. Try other troubleshooting tactics first. Check your Event Log for entries about the failures. Darrell Mozingo

The error I get regularily now is Event 5781, Dynamic registration or deregistration of one or more DNS records failed because no DNS servers are available.
I tried what was noted on eventid.net - to no success.

Periodic email's will not send (no server found), domains will come up with a DNS error every now and then.

and an investigation on dnsreport.com shows me a bunch of reverse dns errors. - although the reverse dns is there.
