Hi Ace,
I don't know what happened to the reply I did earlier, but apparently, it is
his DC with the underscore.
:: Computer: PMBCM_S1
I'm not sure why it is going out to the internet DNS servers maybe his
search list in one of his computers. He may have an external domain in his
search list that is causing it to go out to the Root servers but removing
that server from the Root Hints is going to cause slow external resolution.
I suggest he put the Root server back in and review his DNS search list on
all machines. And remove any domain name that is not on his local DNS
server.
