We're all good. Thanks.

Not a good reason -- there is no requirement to be a
domain member to use the DNS server. Just put the
correct (internal one) in anyway.

Well, that makes sense -- send yourself an email when
you do such stuff or write it down if you are prone to
forget (and especially if you haven't pretty much
memorize AND more importantly UNDERSTOOD what
is happening here.)

After you understand it you can fix it almost without
thinking.

It will be one of the first things you will think to check.

(BTW, that is how Ace and I know even though we cannot
touch or see your system. We know how it has to work and
how it is easily fouled up.)

I don't believe that is a cardinal rule or even a rule at
all.

The real rule would be:

     Make sure your DNS service is RELIABLE.

IF that means 2 or more then that is what you must do,
but if you make the MAIN DNS server reliable that
can work also.

We (me at least) keep wondering why your DC/DNS
server is down so much. There is the REAL problem
to overcome.

It should not be down more than it takes to reboot
after updates or VERY SELDOM to put in a new
piece of hardware (memory etc.)

Think about this: You likely only have ONE connection
to the Internet and it that goes down you are basically
out of service too.

If service is/were critical, that would also be an issue.
