Hi Fred,
THat doesn't make sense. Need more info to test your conclusions.
Can you please elaborate on exactly how you are testing this?
1. Are you testing it from a client? If so, what DNS address are set on it
in ip properties?
2. Are you testing this from the DNS server itself? If so, what DNS
addrssess are set in it's ip properties?
If a zone exists in DNS, it will check that FIRST since it is SOA for the
zone and it OWNS the zone. Any other behavior is based on what the client
machine is configured with.
Tell you what, to eliminate any more guess work on my part, post an ipconfig
/all from whatever machine you ar testing this with please, including if it
is the DNS server itself, since a DNS server has it's own client side
resolver independent of the fact it is a DNS server. Make sense?
