I've been trying to configure the Win NT Server 4.0 DNS server. The
cache.dns configuration is giving major headaches.

The default configuration of the cache.dns file is to point to the 10 or so
root name servers on the internet. For various reasons I would much rather
point my dns server at my isp's nameservers than the ones that Micro$oft
provides as defaults.

(Among other reasons I do not seem to get any response out of the
"official" name servers")

I have tried using the DNS manager to remove the NS and A records for A....
and B... etc. I have then put in my own NS and A records for ns0.demon.net
and ns1.demon.net. These values seem to stick for a short period (long
enough to run nslookup and check out a few addresses.) However it seems
that as soon as
I stop the DNS server and restart it I get the original "default" and
unwanted values back. 

I have gone to the lengths of stopping the DNS server, going into
\Winnt\system32\dns and changing the cache.dns file by hand to the desired
configuration (And the backup\cache.dns file as well come to that.). 

None of this seems to have any effect, after a few minutes I am back to the
original list of 10 root nameservers.

I've also tried disabling the boot from registry setting and using my own
dns
boot file (this did not seem to be effective.)

I am getting a bit p****d off with software that seems to think it knows
better than I do what my root name servers should be.

From where does the M$ DNS server get its list of default root servers?

Is there any solution to this problem beyond installing BIND (which would
then
loose the WINS and DHCP integration)?
