Hi Jank,

Let's stay away from the nuclear option until we can't find out what's
going on.

Are the clients a member of the domain?

What is the primary DNS suffix on the clients?

What operating systems are you using for clients?

What is/are the DNS setting(s) on the ISA firewall's interface(s)

What are the DNS settings on the client's interface?

Can you do a NetMon capture on the client when you do a Detect Now at
the Client?

What OS is the DNS server on, the Windows Server 2003 DC?

Are you using the ISA Server 2004 Firewall client?

Thanks!
