I needed to get out to microsoft to install security patches. We are in the process of implementing a patch solution, but I needed to get this done now. Thanks for the suggestion though. :-)

With the server in the DMZ, it could not use our internal DNS servers of course, and I found out it could not use our external DNS servers either, because we have them set to not allow queries.

So my options were then to use a public DNS server we had no control over, or set this server up as it’s own DNS.

My Supervisor said to set it up as a DNS server, like the last one was. That was my first suspicion as to what the problem was, but I could not explain why. Now I know why and therefore have a better understanding of it all.
