Windows 2K DC A Record Visible When Running Nslookup against doma in name

[Vyto Grigaliunas]

Hi...

I've noticed that two and I think it's because the W2K DC's create A records
associated with the domain itself as well...why, I don't know (I seem to say
that a lot about Microsoft), but then again we're just starting to set up a
testbed...probably how AD clients find their DC's ???
