SYMPTOMS
If a Domain Name System (DNS) subzone exists, but it does not contain any records, DNS may delete the subzone.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because an empty subzone does not contain any DNS data. When Windows 2000 is restarted, it deletes any empty subzones.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, do not create any subzones that are not going to contain any records.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
