Hey all,
A little unsure about DNS and forwarders could you check to see if my logic
is flawed.
Win 2000 domain, 7 Dcs, 5 around the country and 2 in head office

We have 2 DNS servers a primary and a secondary running standalone on
windows 2000 server.  There is no Active Directory Involved.  We are
simply using these to provide zone records for domains for websites and
email.  A few days ago our secondary DNS server was taken offline.

This is a simple question (I hope) - I have a domain that has two DNS
servers, one Win2000 and one Win2003. The Win2K box doesn't have any
FLZ or RLZ configured on it at all. If I were to configure these zones,
would they have to match the zones on the Win2003 server? Is it even

I work with someone who has a DHCP service and a DNS service running on

We are trying to get to a web site that we cannot get to with one DNS
forwarder but we can if we use the 2nd DNS forwarder.  Is there a way to tell
DNS to use the 2nd DNS forwarder only if we are trying to get to that one
specific web site ? Is there a better way of doing this ?

We are running DNS for a few hundred domains. We have currently changed
our ISP, and I need to change the master on all the secondary DNS
servers. However, after doing this manually on EVERY SINGLE zone on the
first server, I'd rather not do it that way again. Is there any way to
