SYMPTOMS
When you are using the Windows 2000 DNS service and you are using Active Directory integrated zones, the DNS service may start slower than a DNS service that is configured to use a standard primary zone.



CAUSE
When the DNS service starts, it loads all of the zone information into a memory cache. A standard primary zone is read from a zone file, and will load up faster than an Active Directory integrated zone that has to read all of its records from Active Directory.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
