Hi Tom,

Its working!

Your questions lead to the solution.

After I set the "primary dns suffix" to fels.us, it worked.

I had not set this before. However, the connection specific dns suffix
from the only nic within my client was set to "fels.us" the whole time.

Apparently, that wasn't good enough.

Maybe this is good stuff to add to your wonderful book "isa server
2004".

Thanks.

Hi Jank,

Let's stay away from the nuclear option until we can't find out what's
going on.

Are the clients a member of the domain?

What is the primary DNS suffix on the clients?

What operating systems are you using for clients?

What is/are the DNS setting(s) on the ISA firewall's interface(s)

What are the DNS settings on the client's interface?

Can you do a NetMon capture on the client when you do a Detect Now at
the Client?

What OS is the DNS server on, the Windows Server 2003 DC?

Are you using the ISA Server 2004 Firewall client?

Thanks!
