Hi,

I have set up a caching DNS server to resolve internet
queries as detailed in Technet. Thought it a very simple
exercise, 3 lines of instructions. Now my problem is I
cant view the Cached lookup folder so i can see the
entries that have been resolved by my DNS server.

In NT 4.0 i could see this folder above the forward lookup
zones folder. Is it possible to see the cache folder on
DNS 2000 and view its contents? Does my inability to see
this folder mean that i did not properly configure my DNS?

I have been getting a lot of unresolved domain name errors
in my mail and i need to see what has been cached.

Thank you in advance.

Your collegue in IT

Nope, it just means you need to click View and Advanced in the menu.
