DNS problem...

                Dear Gentlemen,

                I am facing a problem when setting up DNS on our Alpha
servers. We have two servers running Tru64 v5.1 and have set up one as
Master and the other as Slave. Both are on the same subnet and the hostname
and IP address of both servers exists in the "/etc/hosts" on both the
machines. Both can also ping each other.

                However, when I try to telnet the Slave server using its IP
address from my "Win2000 Professional" client PC (Preferred DNS server -
Slave DNS' IP address, Alternate DNS Server - Master DNS' IP address), the
telnet screen hangs for a minute or two before displaying the logon screen
(telnet to Master using IP address is ok).

                You may note that I have followed the "Tru64 Network
Administration" manual when setting up both the DNS servers.

                Can someone enlighten me on what has gone wrong for the
telnet utility (of Win2000 Prof.) to hang? Would appreciate your suggestions
please.

                Harihar K
