So I have Windows 2003 Server set up and all the computers in my house authenticating to it via Active Directory. In order to get Active Directory up and working, I had to tell my router that the primary DNS server is 192.168.1.2, so that the computer which get their DHCP addresses from the router can find the Active Directory server, 192.168.1.2 is the address of the 2003 Server computer. I then setup Windows 2003 Server to use DNS forwarding.
Now, it seems like DNS lookups from every other computer are slow. It takes like 2 to 3 seconds for a domain name to resolve, but after that it's nice and fast for a while. Then it seems like the cache expires and it needs to re-look up the domain names and I have to wait again...
What's going on? Any ideas how to fix this?
