I run SBS2000 without ISA (use Watchguard SOHO hardware
firewall).

The DNS entry for MSN-related sites keeps going bad. If I
stop & start the DNS service on the server, or manually
delete the cache in DNS control center, users can access
the sites for about 15-30 minutes -- then it goes bad
again.

No other websites are affected. I have found a few posts
here with similar problems. KB 83095 describes exactly
this problem, but it is only for Server 2003.

Thanks.
