If I do an NSLOOKUP from my workstation to <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" rel="ugc">www.yahoo.com</a>, I receive a reply sometimes and a timeout the others. &nbsp;Yahoo is the only address it is doing this to. &nbsp;I run successfully on cnn.com, msn.com, etc without timing out. &nbsp;To make it weirder, I run an nslookup to yahoo.com (without the www) &amp;&nbsp;it goes through....every time. &nbsp;This occurs on the server as well.<br />
<br />
DNS is running on 2003 server. &nbsp;DHCP is handing out primary &amp;&nbsp;secondary DNS addresses. &nbsp;The primary DNS is the DC, the secondary is the ISP. &nbsp;I have flushed the dns as well as scavanged stale records on the server plus I flushed the dns cache on my workstation. &nbsp;Any ideas?
