Thanks for the quick response.  I've implemented the time interval changes you reccomended.  I'm running down some DNS issues and this helps me eliminate some of the possibilities.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Does the Primary DNS servers SOA serial number need to be lower than other DNS servers?<br />
<br />
For Primary Server, do you enter the Primary DNS or is this supposed to be one of the other servers?<br />
<br />
Also, what are the reccomended settings, not default, for refresh, retry, expire and minimum TTL<br />
<br />
This is on Windows Server 2003, R2, running DNS<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for your help!

What are the SOA settings in DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
