Im running windows 2000 server, active directory dns e.t.c
I have a problem were by you can add a workstation to the domain ok, but after several reboots the name of the domain is resolved to the ip address of the PDC causing major network slow down.

Ie. Machine name was Machine.domain.dns
Is Now. Machine.10.1.1.1

There are no event log errors, and nslookup tells me everything is performing correctly. Yet the workstations have slowed down to a crawl.

Try running the NETDIAG from the command prompt it and other tools must be installed from the server CD. NETDIAG /F can fix some minor DNS problems automatically. You might want to also scan for viruses, spyware (xcleaner free is a good one) and ROOTKITS www.f-secure/blacklight to make sure your PDC and clients are clean. Another rootkit is systeminternals.com. Are you sure your dns is config correctly (no root domain and using forwarders???)
