I don't know jack about dhcp, so please factor that in when
evaluating my answer  :-)  However:

IN A win2k500.jc.com  is a reference to a DNS A record.

Now, we look down here and see:

GOL's nameservers are not authoritative for gol.com, yet
you're telling your dhcpd that ns03.nds.gol.com is the
nameserver to talk to.  However, the authoritative nameservers
for jc.com are:

Authoritative answers can be found from:
jc.com  nameserver = NS2.NORLIGHT.NET.
jc.com  nameserver = NS1.NORLIGHT.NET.
jc.com  nameserver = MKEJOURNAL.JSINC.COM.
NS2.NORLIGHT.NET        internet address = 207.170.7.6
NS1.NORLIGHT.NET        internet address = 207.170.3.6
MKEJOURNAL.JSINC.COM    internet address = 207.170.24.145

You're using a domain name that doesn't belong to you, 
and a nameserver that is not authoritative for that domain.
Unintentional, I'm sure, but don't do that :-)

If you eliminate those bogons (which you should do anyway)
and it still doesn't work, then you know you have a problem
with your dhcpd config.
