Sorry Frank to disagree with you but the dns of both nics should point to ip

a.. Make sure that DNS is configured correctly. This means that the internal
and external network adapter's DNS settings are pointing to the internal IP
address of the SBS 2000 computer and the ISP's DNS servers are specified in
the Forwarders tab in the DNS Management Console."
