MS DNS, WinNT4 and below, have broken search algorithm implementations. DDNS, Win2K, is currently untested.

Search algorithm? I thought we were talking about making full use of the dns server list - i.e., if first server doesn't respond try the next one in the list.

I think, *that* is called a search algorithm. Try it at root level, with WinNT, you'll find that it doesn't work. Better yet, try it with BIND8 (*nix, of course) too, and compare the results. If your test doesn't produce the same results, please send test-plan, scripts, and methods to me. I'd be very interested.
