Subdoamins W2k

[Holger Honert]

Hello Barry,

as you can see at the bottom in my original query this behaviour appears 
not only in w2k environment.
So the question is still why I could not resolve only names in the 
delegated subdomain?

According to MS the w2k DNS servers are somehow BIND copmpatible (sure, 
with
some features from MS like gss-tsig) so thats why I asked this in this 
mailing-list.

regards

holger
