Win2k forgets Nameserver?

Are you using two name servers, of which one does not know about the
internal namespace? If the primary DNS server fails, Win2000 will
revert to the secondary (as named in TCP/IP properties) until that one
fails (at which time it will switch back) or a reboot.

If one of the name servers do not know about the internal namespace,
it could explain why this is happening.
