This is the schema. ISA Server 2000 three homed: 1 NIC to the LAN , 1 NIC to the DMZ , 1 NIC to Internet. Inside the LAN 3 Win2000 Domain Controllers (DC1 DC2 DC3) with DNS Server Service installed , 1 Active Directory Integrated Zone (company.net)for internal name resolution.For external name resolution ALL DC/DNS with Forwarders placed in the DMZ. Both, internal and external name resolution is working fine. On the ISA Server the Firewall Service is restarted (or ,click in stop and click in start). When I try to use nslookup to resolve an external name (ie: nslookup www.ibm.com)from any DC I get time-out and the name resolution fail. This behavior is from any DC. The only solution that I have (until now) is restart the DNS Service on all DC´s(DC1 DC2 DC3). After that ,the nslookup work fine again (ie: nslookup www.ibm.com return all the IP address). If I not restart the DNS Service, I can wait for days, and the problem persist. Any idea ? Regards Pablo Ferrarese Intertron
