DNS question

Hi, I'm quite new to DNS (and network in general) so perhaps someone might be able to help me with this question: I currently have one Win2k3 server running in my LAN that is used as a file/ application server. This server should serve only the local computers of its subnet (192.168.1.XX): the whole subnet is switched, DHCP/internet routing is done by a Linksys router (all other clients and the server itself need access to the internet occasionally). Now, everything works fine, but I've got the following question: AFAIK, I should only see DNS traffic to the DNS server(s) of my ISP - and no other DNS traffic (as I don't host a DNS server). But, I've had some strange experience when I recently ran TcpView (www.sysinternals.com) and ethereal. My Win2k3 server (the one I mentioned above) connects to the root servers (e.g. 'l.root-servers.net:domain'). I cannot see any reason why this should happen - or did I get something wrong during my DNS lessons? thanks for any help Peter -- Sparen beginnt mit GMX DSL: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
