Hi,
I am in a large network that uses Active Directory DDNS and redhat can 
simply not resolve any other computernames in the network... well 
atleast thare is a large segment of them that can not be resolved. no 
workstations for example.  I use the default setup and allow DHCP to 
configure everything. In windows it works fine, but in this version  (I 
do not know about earlier versions) it does not work at all. I do 
nslookup to the same server using the same DNS server and get diferent 
results. eg. the DNS server (windows 2000)  does not reply with the same 
anwer if you are redhat.
WIN:
Z:\tmp\scan>nslookup burner
Server:  dhcnic02.<removed>.com
Address:  10.104.241.115

Name:    burner.stores.<removed>.com
Address:  10.89.17.84

REDHAT:
Note:  nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.
Server:         10.104.241.115
Address:        10.104.241.115#53

** server can't find burner: SERVFAIL
What is going on????!!! RedHat cant talk DNS??
