I'm assuming that u have Windows network and u have windows 2k as DNS,DHCP, and have all client computer to obtain IP address from DHCP server. If thats the case then, go to DHCP MMC. Under DNS (006) as option, u can add more than one DNS server.
The Alternative DNS is only used if the Primary DNS server no longer answers any query by the client computer, using alternative DNS would only be for fault tolerance purpose.

Yes the DNS and DHCP server is Windows 2000 Advanced. No, we are not using DHCP on our clients. I set the offsite DNS server to be a secondary server and to receive updates from the primary. We would like the clients offsite to use the secondary DNS as their first DNS and the primary as their backup. The clients at HQ are to use the primary and
the secondary as the backup. However in order to do so, we would have to reconfigure the IP properties for each client??? Trying to figure out how to do so without visiting each pc.
