The link I sent outlines the answers to the most common DNS problems.
Use nslookup.exe.

That's the thing though...DNS "seems" to be up and running.
Are there some particular gotchas to look for with DNS to
make certain that things are running smoothly there? The
main (and only) domain is up and running according to its
own status now. Is there a utility built into Server 2003
anywhere that will run a diagnostic?
