Hey guys, hoping someone will be able to help, or at least give a clue!

I have a DNS server running as part of our domain. Has a couple of entries to point to our mail server etc.

Every so often (maybe once a week) some sites will stop working. Not all sites, for example right now I can get on OcUK and others but cant access bbc or google on any machine.

I do an nslookup and ping on the domains that arent working and they are not even being ressolved to an IP.

The only way to fix it is by clearing the cache on the DNS server from MMC.
Any thoughts?
 
We have had this, its a known issue that ms are aware of - i can't remember if there's a fix or not, not at work this week, or i would ask what fixed it or not,

Interesting, I did google around but didnt find much of interest.
 
Its just set to standard configuration with the addition of a couple of record entries.

We're not using any conditional forwarders if thats what you mean.
 
OK I'm going to sound really noobish but I cant remember were to find where the DNS forwarding for an unknown domain.

But I'm guessing they are.

I would have thought it was a problem with our local DNS server as when I clear the cahce on our server it works again.
