SBS 2008 DNS Issues

Hi experts, I'm having issues with DNS on my sbs 2008, every couple of days internet access drops out. I can ping everyone on the network and my router (Zyxel DBG-415n) ok. Running the Connect to the Internet wizard temporarily fixes the issue. Just wondering if anyone has found a more permanent solution yet, as I know this is a well known issue.

Just make sure that the ONLY DNS server setting that is present on all clients and the server  is the Windows DNS server, no external servers should be listed on in the DNS servers in the TCP/IP settings or referenced in the DHCP options. The only place an external  DNS server should appear is on the Forwarders tab in the DNS options - and nowhere else.
