Guest Neil D. Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 hi, my server which is running AD, DNS, DHCP and RAS (for VPN) has 2 (A) records. *.*.*.78 (LAN) *.*.*.83 (internal) when pc's on the LAN side resolve this, they are being directed to the internal address, rather than the proper LAN address. can i set priority, as in MX type etc, or is there another way i can make the LAN IP the proper record? thanks neil

You should use a different hostname if you want particular computers to resolve a specific address. Example: compname-lan ---> *.*.*.78 compname-int ---> *.*.*.83 Hope that helps. ~Kelly [MCSE]
