DNS Help Required

Hi,

We have are unable to reolve names on the network.

We have in our forward lookup zone COMPANY.LOCAL which contains a few
servers with IP address range 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x

Our SBS2003 server is 192.168.1.250 and all desktops are in the same range.
Our Test servers are 192.168.2.1.

All belong to the same domain COMPANY.LOCAL.

We created an additional reverse lookup zone for 192.168.2.x and added our
test servers. They join the domain fine.

Nslookup works for all servers from SBS 2003 but when we log into a test
server we are unable to perform nslookup although iur SBS 2003 DNS server is
being pointed to and conhtactable with ping -a and nslookup.

Example from SBS server:-

C:\>nslookup ssukcorpbak002
Server: ssukcorpsbs002.company.local
Address: 192.168.1.250

Name: ssukcorpbak002.company.local
Address: 192.168.2.100

Example from our test server:-

C:\>nslookup ssukcorpbak002
Server: ssukcorpsbs002.company.local
Address: 192.168.1.250

*** ssukcorpsbs002.company.local can't find ssukcorpbak002: Server failed

C:\>nslookup ssukcorpsbs002
Server: ssukcorpsbs002.company.local
Address: 192.168.1.250

*** ssukcorpsbs002.company.local can't find ssukcorpsbs002: Server failed


I know that we are close to fixing it, what are we missing?

Cheers

Andrew
