Strange behaviour of BCM and DNS setup

Hello all,

I had successfully setup BCM 2003 on our Exchange 2003 server and
could access it via a number of SBS clients also running Outlook 20003
against the the SBS 2003 server. The SBS server and exchange server
are the same machine. All was well until one or two users reported
intermittent faults, the classic SPS context error. Anyway, after a
bit of fiddling I found the solution, but I would appreciate any
comments you may have.

For various reasons I use my router (A Draytek vigor) to provide the
DHCP and DNS services NOT the SBS server. The network cards in client
machines were all set to "Obtain ip address etc" automatically. I had
set a hosts file on each machine which gave the specific address of
the server and "companyweb" and all this worked just fine until BCM
came along.
