Actually, that article was written with reference to an internal DNS server
that can also resolve external names.
You are correct that if DNS is installed on Win2K, you don't have the option
to leave the primary DNS server entry blank.

Hi,

The above article shows a solution for ISA-Only DNS. That's where DNS
runs on the ISA server. It says that the DNS entry in the properties of
the external interface should be empty.
But that is not possible. If you run Microsoft DNS on a Windows 2000
server and you don't put a DNS server entry in the properties of an
interface (internal or external) Windows will do it for you (127.0.0.1)
and there's no way of stopping it so there will be an entry for the
external interface.

Is this an 'error' in the article?
Causes an entry like this any problems?
Any way to get rid of it?

Best regards,
Han Valk
