DNS Issue

Have DNS running on my 2k Server box. Have no problems resolving any names except my own domain hosted on that box by IIS. I can switch the DNS server on the client systems to any public DNS server and it resolves my domain back to my IIS server.

Open up a console and run "nslookup mydomain.com" and see what comes back. Are you also running active directory on your 2k server?

In the DNS console, right click on the server name and click "Properties". In there, click on the "Forwarders" tab and enter the IPs of your ISP's DNS servers. Then, make sure that the server, and all other systems in the same domain as this server, are only pointed to this server for their DNS (your personal DNS box that is). This way, they all ask your DNS server for address info, and that server will use the forwarder to get info on domains that it doesn't host locally.
