DNS Registry problem

[Danny Mayer]

		While I have had more experience mangling the NT Registry than I care
  to remember, I have a hard time understanding what you are asking. For 
  example you mention NT 4 SP5, but don't mention NT 4 Option Pack.  So
  does that mean you are running IIS 3.0 or 4.0?  Are you trying to add
  www.def.com as a virtual host address or is it associated with a physical
  and presumably separate IP Address?  How did you edit the registry and for
  what.  IIS 4.0 and later don't use the Registry, thay have their own
metadata
  for which you need to use MetaEdit.  The DNS server you can get that runs on
  NT 4 is unreliable if you are running that.  You either need to run BIND or
  goes to Windows 2000.

		I have no idea what EnableBoot means or what it belongs to.  Did the error
  message really say it could find file for abc.com or www.abc.com.
There's a big
  difference.

		Browsing a Web page is a function of the HTTP Server finding the page or
  allowing the page to be served to the public or any limited audience you
care
  to choose.  All of this sounds more like something you should be asking in a
  IIS forum, rather than here.
