Domain Name Resolution

[caddo65590]

All,
I currently have two domain controllers (win2k AD) in my domain. Domain1 and
Domain2.
When you ping the domain name it resolves to the ip address of domain2 and
not domain1.
Domain1 is the first AD in the forest and run the GC server and also the dns
service for the entire domain.
Therefore do not understand why if you ping the domain name, for example
abc.com it get resolved to the ip
address of the second AD.
Any reasons why?

use

nslookup
set d2 <---- this sets debugging on DNS query

run dns query. It will produce extented output. For more check your DNS
settings that it is pointing to the right DNS server. Which server is
hosting DNS service for the other domain ?
