Root Zone that Forwards?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.dns (More info?)

I need to be able to lookup and get to single-label names via http and
UNC while still being able to get out to the internet. I added
dns.mycompany.org to the DNS suffixes which allows nslookup to work but
http or a UNC
path still does not - they only work as FQDN's
http://server.dns.mycompany.org or \\server.dns.mycompany.org so now
I'm wondering if there is anyway allow a single-label name for http and
unc? really what I think I need is a root zone that forwards.

Looks like I just needed to reboot my PC for the DNS Suffix to work on
UNC and Http. Now I just need to figure out if there is a way to
prevent forwarding on certain IP's (I do not want certain workstations
going out to the internet), is there any way to do this?
