I have a question already posted but would need further clarification. We
have a workstation that is using a program to connect to a remote server
which it queries for information. the software is using the host name
direct.beilstein.com on port 8001. After we installed active directory and
DNS we are having a problem connecting. All Internet activity is fine. This
workstation is pointing to Domain Controller for its DNS. Is their something
A need to add or remove in DNS for this to work again.

Thanks in Advance

What is your AD domain name?
If it is not beilstein.com, is the internal DNS able to resolve
direct.beilstein.com?
If it is beilstein.com, add two host records to this zone named direct with
these IP addresses.
direct.beilstein.com. 26 IN A 199.222.33.101
direct.beilstein.com. 26 IN A 199.222.33.102

Chances are your internal DNS server is NOT
resolving the name of that other server (the port
is irrelevant unless you changed your firewalls
etc. too.)

Ask yourself "How will my internal DNS server
find that address for the client?".

IF it cannot, then you will need to either fix the
actual problem or kludge around it with a "zone"
for that ONE name by creating a zone with name:

direct.beilstein.com (yes a NEW ZONE)
then add a BLANK a record with the address
(you will have to find the address somehow)
