I wasn't sure what you meant by ... from scratch ... so I did

1) Deleted the fwd zone (example.infosearch.com) that was not the same name
as the AD (infosearch.com)
2) On the DNS server ran ipconfig /flushdns followed by ipconfig
/registerdns.
3) On the Wkstations ran ipconfig /flushdns followed by ipconfig
/registerdns.

But got the same results.

1) Did you mean delete both fwd zones first?
2) If so, do I need to reboot server before creating a new fwd zone.
3) Is it OK to have infosearch.com for AD and fwd zone? or do I need a
prefix like abc.infosearch.com?
