>You mean lowest numeric for the preferred "interface", right? (So what
we really need to do is bump the cost up on the hardware NICs so that they
will always be greater.)
Yes, I always use highest - but I meant highest as in highest priority -
lowest number in reality ;-)
>I don't think this is dynamic though when the interfaces are added; is
that correct or not? At least not for NEW "registration" -- it will start
using that DNS for resolution and will register there if we Re-Register DNS
(or WINS) but it won't just do it without prompting I think.
I honestly don't know!! I guess it depends on the DNS Registration
settings, and the aging settings...but I'm not sure.
I see what you are saying, and this is perhaps not dynamic enough; but with
a little effort it certainly works. The issue is, as you imply, for
non-admin users... :-(
