Event 7062 - DNS server encountered a packet addressed to itself

[al harris]

DNS Server encountered a packet addresses to itself -- IP address w.x.y.z.
The DNS server should never be sending a packet to itself. This situation
usually indicates a configuration error.

Check the following areas for possible self-send configuration errors:

1) Forwarders list (DNS server should not forward to themselves).
2) Master lists of secondary zones.
3) Notify lists of primary zones.
4) Delegations of subzones.

Must not contain NS record for DNS server

Example: -> This DNS server dns1.microsoft.com is the primary for the zone
microsoft.com. -> You have delegated the zone bar.microsoft.com to
bardns.bar.microsoft.com and are NOT running the bar.microsoft.com zone on
this DNS (dns1.microsoft.com). Note, you should make this check (with
nslookup of DNS manager) both on this DNS server and on the server(s) you
delegated the subzone to. It is possible that the delegation was done
correctly, but that the primary DNS for the subzone, has any incorrect NS
record pointing back at this server. If this incorrect NS record is cached
at this server, then the self-send could result. If found, the subzone DNS
server admin should remove the offending NS record.

Tried the fix in the message but that did not help, any suggestion?
My DNS environment includes:
3 dns servers (all AD integrated)
1 domain
Many reverse zones
No access to the internet

Configuring a forwarder usually eliminates this error.

If that doesn;t work, please provide additional info such as an ipconfig
/all of the server, if you have AD running, etc.

That did not help, still having the same problem. My network has 'no
internet access' do I need a root server? If not, what steps do I need to
take to ensure proper configuration on my 3 dns server?

Thanks

Were you able to actually configure a forwarder, or was the option grayed
out?

Are you saying you have no Internet access whatsover? Do you use a Proxy or
ISA server?

Is this error appearing on all three of your DNS servers? Are these all DCs
too?

Are any of these servers multihomed (multiple NICs)?

Can you post an ipconfig /all of all three your DC/DNS servers please?
