Re: Proper DNS configuration help   

Both of my dns servers are running on Windows 2000 server SP4. The files 
referenced in this KB on both servers are SP4 versions later than this 
hotfix. Any other suggestions? The forward lookup zone on both servers is 
set for nonsecure and secure dynamic updates.
