I got 2 2003 R2 servers. A DC/DNS (server1) and a member server (server2). Simple little domain.

Server 2 does nslookup www.google.com and gets

QuoteC:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.CONTOSO>nslookup
*** Cant find server name for address 192.168.1.100: Non-existent domain
Default Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.1.100

> www.google.com
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.1.100

          209.85.135.99, 209.85.135.103

I did /registerdns and made a reverse lookup zone but it still does it.

Google says I need to add a PTR record. Whats one of those?

edit: fk sake. Found out what to do but the 30 day trial version of 2003 I installed 3hrs ago is expiring in 1 hour.

Do something 3 times and it wont work. Do the same thing a fourth time and bingo!
