Re: strange DNS behavior over the last 2 days

[jacob () excaliburfilms com (Jacob)]

Could be a bad cache file.  I had this type of problem on NT4.  I had to 
stop the DNS service, copy a new cache file over from the backup or 
template directory under \winnt\system32\dns, restart the DNS service.

On 2000, you can right click and clear cache.

I am on 2000 now, so I am not quite sure where that cache file is for NT4.
