How do you stop a DNS Server from updating (or other method if there is a better solution)?
We have a Dell Poweredge SBS 2003 server, which is our DC, file, print and DNS server (not exchange).
Recently, logins have been pretty slow. I know that this is down to DNS.
This server has two adapters. One is 192.168.0.100 and one 192.168.0.101. We use 0.100 for everything and 0.101 is not reachable (can't browse/ping) and seems to be useless however everything stops working when we disable it!
On DNS Management, I see a folder for the server, where there are two A records - one being 0.100 and one 0.101. I constantly delete 0.101 and then logins are quick but the server readds it at least every hour.
I don't want to sort out the adapter mess because the server will be replaced soon, but we need to make the logins quicker.
I also can't have the DNS Server stop updating (because client PCs are on DHCP) and don't want to use the HOSTS file (not convenient, machines wiped often etc)
Any suggestions?

Is .101 used for routing? At command prompt, run 'route print' and see if it is used for a gateway or interface anywhere. What is .101 physically connected to? What is .100 physically connected to?

I decided to go with RobWill's suggestion because I obviously don't want to have to rebuild server!
Thanks :)
