Now you need to go to your DHCP server and set predefined options for wpad. I
suppose all should be good thereafter.

Good luck

Subject: [isalist] FWClient DNS Issue
Interesting problem here, thought I’d ask you guys about it first…
I am working on replacing my Domain Controllers with Server 2008 R2. Recently,
I pointed all the DNS servers to the new R2 servers instead of the 2008 SP2
servers. Now the Firewall Client will not automatically detect the ISA server.
I traced it back to the wpad DNS entry. In the DNS server, the wspad and wpad
entries are Aliases (CNAME) for the ISA server. When I do an nslookup from a
workstation, I can resolve the wspad entry, but not the wpad entry (cannot
find, non-existent domain). I can delete the Aliases from the server, and
watch them replicate between the different servers, so I know the settings are
working. When I launch the nslookup console, I cannot resolve wpad from the
R2 servers, but if I attach to the SP2 server it resolves it correctly.
Any ideas why Server 2008 R2 will selectively choose which DNS aliases to
ignore?
