That's a really bad idea.  You should always have at least 2 nameservers and
both be listed in each of the desktops' IP settings. If you lose your single
nameserver, because of disk crash, bad hardware, maintenance, etc. you have
no name resolution at all.

Are they configured with more than one nameserver?
