   Oh the thrills of Microsoft.  Never knowing if it will work or
 not.  I have seen DNS problems large scale with Windows95 computers,
 and I don't doubt a bit there are similar problems with ANY
 Microsoft Windows O/S.  Some DNS entries will be ignored, or
 skipped.  Sometimes our Secondary DNS will go inoperative and
 guess who starts calling us?  WIN 95 users.  It seems that even
 though they have a valid Primary DNS entry, Windows will randomly
 stop using it and insist on using the secondary entry, or vise
 versa.
