Confused about SPNs

Hello, I'm new to troubleshooting Kerberos and a little confused about the 
SPN's and hopefully someone could clear things up for me.  I am running in a 
Windows 2000 environment using three servers, SQL server, web server (IIS 
5.0) and a Terminal Server. I am using a web application going from the TS 
server to the Web server, and then to the database server.

On the SQL and TS servers I am getting the following error"0x7 - 
KDC_ERR_S_Principal_UNKNOWN : Server not found in Kerberos Database"  both 
servers are using local system accounts for IIS and SQL, so the default 
SPN's are on the server.  When I do a "setspn -L computer name"  should I 
only see information about the local server (local SPN's)?  Or should the 
SPN's be pointing to a DC?  I read a lot of information about the SPN's but 
I guess I am still confused of how this all work.  Do I need to set IIS and 
SQL with a Domain account for the services?

I appreciate any help or clarification

Thanks,
