DNS Server Does Not Check for Delegations Before Forwarding (182227)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q182227

SYMPTOMS

DNS server does not check for delegations before forwarding to a forwarder. On a primary DNS (DNS-main), if you delegate a subdomain to another DNS (DNS-sub), DNS name resolution works fine. However, if you set up DNS-main to use a forwarder (non-slave), the resolution request is sent to the Forwarder first and may fail.

CAUSE

Checking for delegated domains before sending a name resolution request to the forwarder is new functionality added to the DNS.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
