WINS? DNS? I just don’t know

by aaron_wurthmann . Updated 26 years ago

Info:
I have three NT Servers.
One, the PDC is serving DHCP to almost everyone. Two, the BDC is the Exchange server. The third is a stand alone server with WINS.

All servers and above resources are configured correctly. Meaning the each have WINS set to the correct server and DHCP is also aware of the location of the WINS server. (the WINS server has static entries for all other servers and as well for DNS. For that matter so does DHCP).

DNS is running on a UNIX machine and appears to have the correct entries for my servers. An NSLOOKUP verifies this information. (I don’t have control of this server)

Problem:
At random, (or as far as I can tell) “two” my bdc/exchange server is not pingable via hostname. The ping for some reasonor another goes to the outside interface of my firewall. There are no entries in my route table that would send it there, and an nslookup still states the correct address.

What is going on and how can I stop it?
