Okay here's the info about the server:
The hosts file is over 100K in size and can be found at the following
website:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/ hosts.txt
I was under the assumption that ipconfig /displaydns would
display the sites visited. And I can see that that true.
The hosts file is located here:
\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts.sam
I'm not sure how the lmhosts.sam is used or what it is used
for right at the moment. And I do NOT know how to make
the hosts file work for the DNS server for client browsing.
Ipconfig /displaydns confirms the host file in effect.
Ipconfig /displaydns confirms that the XP client is going to the
DNS server. I ran a small test whereby I cleared the cache
and then jumped out to a website that is not used much and
it popped up in the Ipconfig /displaydns results.
So all that is well and good. What I am NOT seeing is the
hosts file being effective for "client" machines connected to the
network. DNS SERVER is ignoring the hosts file when clients
are browsing. How do I configure the hosts file to take effect
for the whole domain?
The hosts file is not when a client tries to ping the sites in it. I can
ping the hosts in it (from the client machine). The server pings are
properly translated to 127.0.0.1 from the server.
