Disabled Zones or Failed Reverse Queries Using DNS Root Server (177405)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q177405 SYMPTOMS
Your network, which is using a Microsoft Windows NT Domain Name Service
(DNS) server, may experience one or more of the following problems:
- DNS Manager on your DNS server may display some of the zone objects
with a red X, indicating that they are disabled.
-or-
- DNS clients on the network may be unable to resolve reverse name lookups
successfully.
CAUSE
Your DNS server has its reverse zone, in-addr.arpa, configured as a
subdomain of the root zone (.).
RESOLUTION
To resolve these issues, reconfigure your DNS server so that the reverse
zone, in-addr.arpa, is a separate zone and not a subdomain of the root
zone. Then add your PTR records or delegations within the in-addr.arpa
zone.
