    This is an odd situation. I have an AD/DNS Machine with the following settings:

    Code:
    Windows IP Configuration
    
       Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : NT-SERVER3
       Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . : Beeryrio.com
       Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown
       IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
       WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
       DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : Beeryrio.com
    
    Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
    
       Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
       Description . . . . . . . . . . . : HP NC7781 Gigabit Server Adapter
       Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-1E-0B-73-E2-DA
       DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
       IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.192.192.5
       Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
       Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.192.192.1
       DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.192.192.5
                                           192.192.192.2
    
    Now, when I launch nslookup I get this:

    Code:
    Default Server:  medmgmt-5.tajen.edu.tw
    Address:  192.192.192.5
    
    > 192.192.192.2
    Server:  medmgmt-5.tajen.edu.tw
    Address:  192.192.192.5
    
    Name:    medmgmt-2.tajen.edu.tw
    Address:  192.192.192.2
    
    >
    

    The tajen.edu.tw is some college in Taiwan, has no relation to our company, and I can't find any configs with this suffix (obviously I'm not looking in the right place). If I run a nslookup on any ip in our network it will return medmgmt-foo.tajen.edu.tw

    Does anyone have any ideas on what setting I can change to fix this? Thanks!

    Fixed! The Reverse Lookup Zone was not configured for my subnet.
