Hi all,
We have a small office network with 2 sme servers and one win2k server, mixture of w2k, xp and macs as clients.
SME1 (pheonix) is our net gateway, and also provides DHCP to the network (the other one is just used as a file server). The W2K server (buffalo) is the PDC.
When using DHCP as normal, the SME box provides itself as the DNS server (logically). However good old XP tries to write a whole bunch of crap to the DNS server when a user logs in, resulting in a 5 minute wait before the desktop appears.
To solve this I have set up the W2K box as a DNS server also, with recursion to the SME DNS, which works just fine. However I have to go around and set each PC to use the W2K box for primary DNS instead of the SME, which kinda defeats the purpose of using DHCP
My question is, is it possible to get the SME box to hand out the W2K box as primary DNS and itself as secondary (via DHCP)?
TIA,
Adam
