DNS Iteration by Windows Xp ?

[harmandeep]

hi ,
i had setup a Fictional internal DNS namespace for testing DNS in Windows Network .

Follow the DNS Structure in attached thumbnail ...
Are Windows Xp DNS Clients capable of Performing DNS Name Resolution when their Pref DNS Servers reply with Referral answers ? ( i.e Recursion is Disabled on their Pref DNS Servers )

See the attached Wireshark traces ( captured from DNS Client systems ) ....

1) First trace is with Recursion Enabled on Preferred DNS Server (in which Pref DNS Server replies with +ve answer to Dns clients Queries)

2) Second trace is with Recursion Disabled on Preffered DNS Server (in which Pref DNS Server replies with Referral Answers to Dns clients Queries)
