Then take an old machine, and set it up as another DNS server. A 350Mhz
machine or something would work fine.
Even better, make the 350 another DC to have a little fault tolerance.
But if you do not have your clients and servers registering themselves with
the same DNS server, and being able to find each other with the same DNS
server, then you are going to have other problems, like your GPO propagation
that started this... Which is more acceptable?

with that config, if the server is down, no internet access, right? Since
the school has very little fault tolerance, and a lot of library research
type workstations, internet access is more important than server access.
I will try what you suggest though....i'm running out of options.

You should not have any DNS entries on any machine set to your ISP DNS
servers.
1. Set your Server's DNS entries to itself.
2. Set your Client DNS Entries to your Server's IP.
3. Change your DNS server setup (In the DNS server snapin, not the network
control panel) to forward unknown requests to your ISP's DNS.
I can clarify any of the 3 steps, if need be...
But your directory service will be very unreliable until you get your
servers and clients all speaking to the same DNS zone that you control...

I've tried putting the local DNS second inline, but this did not work, as
the GPO did not load.
I want my local DNS to cache, could I have a setting incorrect on this?
It appears to me that the DNS is not working correctly becuase it does not
go to the next DNS to resolve. I'm using Active directory for my dns, not
primary or secondary. Could that be an issue.
I have only ONE local DNS server.

Better yet, set the next in line to be the local secondary dns for fault
tolerance.
You probably could, but as a best practice, it is more efficient for the
local DNS to cache lookups from the ISP than to have each client passing
lookup traffic to the internet.

Why couldn't they setup the first DNS server on the workstation to be the
local and the next in line be the ISP DNS server?
