I’m having an issue because we have multiple IPs on a Windows DC 2003. We have a forest sitting in a DMZ that is trusted by our internal forest. This forest originally had 2 DCs and it was causing a problem with an application we run. The application would query one DC and create something and then query the other DC to modify the object before it was replicated. This would then fail. We had to shut down the second DC to prevent this from happening. We now came up with the idea of sticking a second DC out there and using a crossover cable to connect the other DC. We figured that nothing would ever talk to the second dc so we didn’t have to worry about it. We could just use it if there was a problem.
Great idea, but it didn’t work.
DC1 has registered both it’s IPs in DNS, so that is screwing things up from time to time. The other thing is the AD broadcast out the info about the other DC and the application still tries to talk to it from time to time. We’ve now had to shut it down.
The issue I want to resolve now is can I have 2 IP (two diff nics) on the DC but have it only register 1 in DNS. That second record is screwing me up from time to time.
