Hi all

I have a primary wins and secondary wins. I read somewhere that it should be setup so that
both wins are pushed and pulled of each other instead of primary pushed and seconardy pulled.
Is there an advantage to this?

The two-way replication (push and pull on both servers) ensures that, whichever server a client actually registers itself on, both servers end up with all of the records. This way, if one server goes down, the other server can service all of the name resolution requests. If you have the primary pushing only and the secondary pulling only, then clients that happen to register themselves directly w/the secondary will never be updated to the primary. How often this might happen is questionable,but nevertheless it is a possibility, especially if the primary and secondary are not at the same physical location. Hope this helps!
