| First look indicates possible duplicate zone data in different
partitions.
| Is DNS still installed and being used on 2000 DNS servers ? If so, are
you
| also administering DNS using the 2003 DNS console? This is usually the
| culprit.
|
| Also, make abosolutely sure yoy are not using an ISP's, a router, or any
| other DNS that does not host the AD zone.
