PDC has correct dns setup on nic card.
other pc's use pdc as dns server on nic card.
pdc can access all websites ie. microsoft.com
other pc's can get most websites except sites from larger
corporations like microsft, yahoo, symantec.

pdc can see all these. Is this a dns issue?

When I put in the "actual" dns servers into the pc's, pc
can see all websites. What is pdc doing wrong?
 
Check your forwarder settings on the AD-integrated DNS server. Use your
ISP's DNS servers....and use DHCP to give all clients the correct DNS server
IP, which should be the internal IP of the domain controller/DNS server
only.

Run ipconfig /all from a workstation that has the issue and see if it is
pointing to the internal DNS. If it's not, that's your issue.

"has correct DNS setup" means "is configured with its own IP address as the
Preferred DNS server", of course.

EC> Is this a dns issue?

Very probably. But not the one that you think it to be. First check that the
problem is even still there, now that Akamai isn't having as many problems as
it had a few days ago.
