win2k3 DNS, IP (RAS vpn internal IP, instead of proper port)

[Guest Neil D.]

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

This is a good example, we don't recommended to enable RRAS on DC with DNS. This troubleshooting may help,

Neil:

 

When you have multiple A records for the same hostname in DNS, they

will resolve round robin until it is cached by the client. 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.
