Re: Network files lock up when secondary W2k3 Domain Controller is

Davidi

ok, thanks. I guess I should have done a /flushdns after changing my ip
settings and restarting. One other thing of note is the servers never had a
problem opening files when the second DNS server was down. And the offline
DNS Server was listed as one DNS Servers on all servers. However the server
IP addresses are static and they don't use DHCP.

Do you know if the timeout before failing over to the secondary DNS Server
is configurable?
