Hi Sid_F,<br />
those addresses are actually DNS servers, they are some of the root DNS servers: your machine is probably configured to use root hints (look into DNS properties).<br />

You see the server quering Internet root DNS servers for resolving host/domain names not local to your domain.<br />
Open your DNS admin, right click on your server, select properties and go to the tab named &quot;Root Hints&quot;, here you'll see the list of root servers.<br />

Great. Should I disable this as really what I want is the sbs server to only handle local DNS queries and for my router to handle all queries for the internet.

On my router logs I can see my Windows 2000 SBS machine keeps querying the following addresses on port 53 (DNS), I have no idea where this is coming from as I have different primary and secondary dns configured on the SBS and the same ones on the router. A few of the addresses its querying are <br />
202.12.27.33<br />
192.33.4.12<br />
198.41.0.4<br />
128.8.10.90<br />
192.33.4.12<br />
<br />
My system is fully virus scanned.<br />

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
