weird DNS issues

[ginger8990]

We have a single domain with 3 -4 domain controllers. We have one standard
server2000 called RC1 and a newly built Dbserver1 of windows 2003 in a
different workgroup. We just noticed we can ping RC1 and DBserver1 and
replied by the same IP address but dbserver1 has its own static ip address.
So we checked event viewer and found some DNS errror. We added dbserver1 to
DNS server which it was not listed in DNS then it works. Also I did dnsflush
and nbtstat -R.

Anyone have any advise or any idea about this?

Many thanks!

If you add a second DC with DNS to the domain, and point each DC to the
other, for its preferred DNS, then to itself for Alternate, these startup
errors should stop.

It is a child domain. We added it to DNS server then it did work. Thanks!!!
