Hi

We have SBS 2003 which is the server for a small network (~70 users).
It's IP address is 192.9.231.202, DNS is 192.9.231.202. It's the domain controller, DHCP is enabled. Hostname is sbs01.xxxx.xxxx

In DNS reverse lookup zones for our subnet there 2 pointers for the server's hostname (sbs01.xxxx.xxxx) :

192.9.231.202 sbs01.xxxx.xxxx
192.9.231.0 sbs01.xxxx.xxxx

Is this right? The 202 entry will disappear about every 60 mins or so, I have to manually re-enter it. The only things to change recently were the addition of a nic to the server as the onboard one *possibly* developed a fault. The onboard nic is definitely disabled.

My boss thinks the 202 pointer isn't needed. Over the last few days I've purposely delayed re-entering 202 and i'm sure client pc's started to become problematic ie ages to logon, couldnt access mapped drives etc... however that is subjective and only my observation. It'd be nice to not enter it alltogether and see what happens, my boss has suggested doing this, but if it does go awol i will get the headache from users so thought i'd ask here first.

Cheers
