Another idea that they are suggesting is changing all the shortname
entries (in hosts.cfg) to FQDN entries. The problem is there are over 1700
entries and I'd have to essentially find out what domain they are in, and
then do a rename command as well.. Not to mention that we don't have this
issue unless our DR-DC goes down..

Any other ideas from the list by chance?

Add to hosts.cfg:
   0.0.0.0         .default.       # testip

This turns off DNS lookups for all servers in hosts.cfg and uses the IP
address instead.

Cheers
