Currently i am abroad. I rented an appartment. The only possibility for
me to get Internet-access is paying an enourmous amount of money for a
WIFI-hotspot.
The DNS at this hotspot sucks. My Windows-laptop tries to access the
Windows Domain Controller during startup. The A-record for this host is
only know on our intranet, so the laptop should get a NXDOMAIN from
the DNS.
Usually.
With this hotspot, everything is differently:
0.040017 192.168.10.2 -> 217.172.186.24 DNS Standard query A
ww200.siemens.net
0.089554 217.172.186.24 -> 192.168.10.2 DNS Standard query response A
0.0.0.1
0.000000 192.168.10.2 -> 0.0.0.1 ICMP Echo (ping) request
1.109446 192.168.10.2 -> 0.0.0.1 ICMP Echo (ping) request
2.110852 192.168.10.2 -> 0.0.0.1 ICMP Echo (ping) request
3.112307 192.168.10.2 -> 0.0.0.1 ICMP Echo (ping) request
13.152326 192.168.10.2 -> 0.0.0.1 ICMP Echo (ping) request
15.630218 192.168.10.2 -> 0.0.0.1 ICMP Echo (ping) request

(ad nauseaum...)
Windows can't cope with this. It becomes so confused that the whole
boot-procedure locks up. I have to unplug the network-cable (going
straight right to my Linux-laptop which does the Ethernet->WIFI
gateway) in order to get Windows booted at all.
I hate clueless DNS-admins.
They shall suffer of great pain and die a horribly death.
