Where does netdiag get the dns servers for DNS tests. The test passes for my
two dns servers, but a third server (209.250.96.10) shows up and I have no
idea why it is testing this server, it's not even in my domain. The DNS test
output in question is:

PASS - All the DNS entries for DC are registered on DNS server
'xxx.xxx.xxx.3'
and other DCs also have some of the names registered.
PASS - All the DNS entries for DC are registered on DNS server
'xxx.xxx.xxx.2'
and other DCs also have some of the names registered.
[WARNING] The DNS entries for this DC cannot be verified right now on
DNS
server 209.250.96.10, ERROR_TIMEOUT.

No, I finally found it after a lot of searching. The servers it tests on are
from the TCP/IP Properties. The reason I did not find it is because it was a
third DNS entry in the Advanced/DNS tab.
