Be warned, non-Amiga content follows.

No help foound anywere for this problem, so I humbly come to this group for assistance.

    Exchange Server 5.5 on Win2k, but win nt domain server.

    We have DSL and corporate mail comes through it fine. Occasionally, our DSL will drop out. When this does, the email server for those of us INSIDE becomes "unavailable", or at least extrememly slow until the DSL service is restored.

    I am fairly certain that this is due to the loss of DNS (as supplied by our DSL provider). Other internal network functions work fine, but businesses almost *thrive* on e-mail..as your boss and his bosses will tell you ad infinitum until the problem is fixed.

What can I do to alleviate this ?

Thanks all

Well, yeah, it's a DSL provider issue at heart. It doesn't happen all that often and is usually rather quickly resolved, but my concern is that it might become a lengthy delay at some point in time; what can I do in Exchange to alleviate the problem? As stated earlier, when DSL goes down, it appears to become a DNS issue.

Maybe temporarily pointing DNS inside until the DSL comes back up?
