dns question

[techie211]

hi all, I have a vendor who can nslookup his external site ip address but cannot nslookup when using

site name. i.e.; c:\>nslookup url.net

 

his software is hardcoded with the url.net so changing it to it's ip is not an option. I setup a 'Routing' rule on our proxy(ISA 2000 SP2) but have done nothing on my dns server. should I add a record

in my dns pointing to his url.net?

Yep basically if you dont have a A record for the domain.net nslookup wont work probably.

I take it he cant ping domain.net? or if so what ip does he get?

figured it out. it was the lmhosts file

 

thanks for your reply;)
