Strange DNS

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi, i have a computer connected to a domain (Windows 2000 SBS) with a Cisco
VPN client for use to a external office, when not connected to the VPN
client i get this:

nslookup int-www.ext-office.org = NO answer
nslookup int-www.ext-office.org 194.19.1.52 = NO answer, 194.19.1.52 is a
ISPs DNS
nslookup int-www.ext-office.org 217.118.32.12 = NO answer, 217.118.32.12 is
another ISPs DNS and the same DNS that the Windows DNS server forward to.


With the VPN client connected i get this:

nslookup int-www.ext-office.org = NO answer
nslookup int-www.ext-office.org 194.19.1.52 = the correct IP is shown (and
its not an local IP)
nslookup int-www.ext-office.org 217.118.32.12 = the correct IP is shown (and
its not an local IP)


How i the h.... can the external ISPs DNS server make a lookup to a domain
when using the VPN client ant why isnt there any answer when i dont use the
VPN client? And why dont the local/internal DNS server give an answer? Yes,
i can reach the internal DNS server also when connected to the VPN client.
