I'm trying to troubleshoot some pc problems in our 10 pc + 1 server network.

If a PC is configured with dns in this order, the pc can not see/ping the www.corpxyz.com server.

primary: 192.168.1.2

secondary: 207.217.126.81

however, if the pc's dns configured in the reverse order, the ping/lookup will NOT work:

primary: 207.217.126.81

secondary: 192.168.1.2

I prefer only using our server address or keep it first, so that all pc's will resolve locally first before going to the ISP's DNS server.

I even tried adding the 207 ISP address to the servers DNS lookup, but no luck.

What else can I check/try??

Hi,

do you still have this issue?

Can you explain better your infrastructure?

Are you using DHCP on your hosts? if not, any particular reason?

Is your server a DC? DNS Server? DHCP Server?

What kind of node is the 192.168.1.2? gateway? DNS Server?

Is the 207.217.126.81 is your ISP DNS?

Darpa.
