Question : DNS lookup's return external IP address

Server 2003
AD domain name same as existing internet domain name.
1 DC that is the Internal DNS server.
DNS Server is setup to forward unkown lookups requests to external dns.
It is also caching internet lookup's.

Problem: When you ping DC internally it is responding with internet domain name IP. It has also created DNS entries for most of the internal computers that point to the external IP address.

There are valid DNS entries for DC/other PC's in DNS. I need to know how to re-configure Internal DNS so that when users are looking up local computers they are not getting returned the external IP address of the internet domain.

Answer : DNS lookup's return external IP address

You need to remove the external DNS ip address from the clients. Its never a good practice to do that. Did you try nslookup on the client with only the internal dns IP? Also try nslookup on the DNS server to see what address it is resolving to.
