If the root servers are showing the changes as replicated then propagation time should not be an issue (most places - I have seen so many DNS anomalies with 2k/XP clients they are no longer that). If you took the zones off of the other name servers previously hosting them before the 24-48 hour expiration period, then you have a problem. Your best bet would be to get them to repost the zone for a few days. Also be sure that you have set up on your primary name server a Standard Primary and on the secondary a Standard Secondary (unless you are running AD integrated). In addition, if behind a firewall you need to allow both tcp/udp port 53.

I setup a zone for one of our domain names and changed the name server for that domain at the registrar, but now when I do a nslookup on that domain name, it gives me a DNS request timed out. Any ideas on what I have missed? I am new to the windows Dns server so any help would be most appreciated. I'm no DNS expert, but if you just recently changed your authoritative host it will take some time to replicate, perhaps a day or so? - Bob Coffman ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - Appsense Technologies New!
