Question : Windows 2003 DNS lookups for unknown domains always go to the same IP
I have a windows 2003 server running active directory and is also a DNS server. My domain name is domain.com. Whenever I do a lookup (for example nslookup or ping) for an unknown host it always returns the same IP address: 67.15.97.37
For example if I say:
Ping asdhasgdjkh
I get:
Pinging domain.com [ 67.15.97.37] with 32 bytes of data
reply from.... time 70ms ttyl118
etc
If I add a trailing dot at the end of the nonsense host then it fails appropriately. This is messing me up because I'm trying to do pings to check for live hosts and if the host doesn't exist the ping still succeeds. How I can I fix this?

Do you have a * entry in your DNS for that IP?
