hi trying to get connectin specific dns to work and failing


Hi All

Just been playing with my home lan and i have a question. I have a
notebook with a wireless nic and a wired nic. I want the notebook when
connected to the lan via the wireless nic to have FQDN of
notebook.wireless.mydomain.local and when connected via wire to just be
notebook.mydomain.local

Obviously my domain is called mydomain.local running AD Int DNS on a
2k3 server :-) the server is connected to a 4meg DSL line via a Dlink
wireless router however the Win 2k3 server does all DNS and DHCP duties
the router is there purely as a gateway, all internal dns point to the
2k3 server. Clients are XPSP2

I am studying for my MCSE and while I know this isnt exactly in the
book playing with stuff like this helps me understand the underlying
concepts and when something doesnt work I want to know why :-)

Now I selected, on the wireless nic properties to "use this connections
dns suffix in dns registration" and gave it the required suffix of
wireless.mydomain.local (not too sure this is right to achieve what i
want???)

I ran ipconfig /registerdns and much of what i expected happened it
created a domain under mydomain.local forward zone called "wireless"
and in there was as i expected the host A record called "notebook"
pointing notebook.wireless.mydomain.local to the notebooks wireless NIC
IP .....all good so far

BUT..

There is also a host A record in the mydomain.local zone called
notebook pointing to the notebooks wireless adaptor therefore when
pinging 10.0.0.100 (ip of the notebook wnic) it resolves to
notebook.mydomain.local and not notebook.wireless.mydomain.local. I
have tried deleting this record however when i run ipconfig
/registerdns on the client it puts it back.....why?

ie

notebook.mydomain.local in zone
mydomain.local
notebook.wireless.mydomain.local in zone
wireless.mydomain.local

I only want the connection specific dns registering can anyone confirm
if when running ipconfig/registedns on a NIC which has a connection
specific dns it registers both the connection specific dns name and the
non specified dns name too


If so is it not possible to have my FQDN as
notebook.wireless.mydomain.local when connected via the Wnic and then
have the FQDN of notebook.mydomain.local when connected via a cable?
