Hi all

We have a very weird DNS resolver issue. Our DNS servers are running
on Windows 2003 Servers. We have Vista and WinXP clients.
Occasionally, our clients can't resolve internal server DNS names
with ping but nslookup would be OK.

Any idea what's possibly the cause?

Do you have only your internal DNS server listed in TCP/IP? (No external or
ISP DNS allowed, even as an Alternate)
