Search Again: name server "discovery" ? From: Joseph D''Andrea Date: Tuesday, June 5, 2001 Time: 6:46:30 am I have a co-lo client in our facility and his box is running windows2000. That's his first problem. ;-) He claims that he doesn't have to provide any name servers in his TCP/IP set-up because when there are no name servers specified, windows2000 will "discover" the "closest" name servers and use them. I know he's full of it because he is also convinced that _every_ name server on the entire internet gets a "root update" at 5am and 5pm every day. How does this relate to QDNS... well he's saying that since I'm his ISP and since he can't resolve certain DNS names and numbers then my name server (QDNS) must be wrong. Is there such a thing as name server discovery?
