Ok, I’ve never tried anything like this before, so I’m not really sure how to make this work.
I’ve got a server, call it SERVER1.domain.com with an IP address of 10.1.1.220 on it’s first NIC. This connection automatically registers itself in DNS as an A record appropriately.
This same server has a second NIC, which I’ve assigned an IP address of 10.1.1.225. This connection was told NOT to automatically register itself with DNS. Instead, I manually created an A record in DNS, calling it SERVER2.domain.com.
NSLOOKUP correctly responds, giving me the answers I expect for each machine name.
When I try to map a drive to SERVER1.domain.com everything works as I expect. However, when I try to map a drive to SERVER2.domain.com, I get a “Duplicate name exists” error.
My goal here is to create a share that can be addressed by two different names:
\\SERVER1.domain.com\Share1
\\SERVER2.domain.com\Share1
Two different server names, shared to the same data on the same physical box. How can I make that happen?
