I've got an issue that's really got me confused.

I noticed on this network here a long time ago, certain print servers had been assigned names like "insect.com" or "arachnid.net" or weird things like that (having to do with bugs). I assumed some user got creative. whatever, i paid it no mind.

But now I am seeing that all over the network. All my computer seem to be assigned some weird domain name. My servers are named
buggate.exterminate.com
envirway.com
nimocks.org
exterrathemovie.com

if i do a nslookup on any of these, they point to ns.bugs.com or bugs.com. but i can't seem to figure out anything past this. I'm on a private lan with internet connectivity via a firewall router. I have a windows 2000 server as my dc and dns server, and the configuration is very whitebread. I have one exchange server, and the applicable ports are opened through the firewall for internet access to the mail ports. my clients and servers have only one dns entry, and that is to my 2000 dns server. i don't even know how it can resolve these weird names.

very confused. not even sure what to think!
