The DHCP/DNS Server is a fully patched Win 2K SP4 box. There are no other
DHCP servers on the network. options are set at the server level except the
gateway which is set at the scope level. Lease is the default 8 days. It's
weird, because the client gets an IP and all of the correct settings, but the
DNS A record disappears. This will occur raraly since there are typically
months between reboots of the client.
