I have my ip settings for dns to go to the internal dns server which is a
domain controller. Every now and then on my client xp machine when I try
going to my internal web site through ie it will not load. If I ping the
domain name of my web server it resolves to the public ip address and not the
internal address. I have to refresh my ip settings to get my client pc to
resove it to the internal ip address. Any sugesstions on why this is going
on. It only happens on xp machines.

Do you have your primary DNS entry pointing to your DC?

One bandaid solution is to edit your hosts file on each PC (assuming
you only have a couple).
