That's kind of where I got to. Would be nice to have the same one
returned with round robin turned off.

We will have to look at a host file entry.

You can lock the order FROM the server by turning off
BOTH "round robin" and "netmask ordering" on the Server.

But you will still possibly see variations from the client
due to "subnet prioritization" (clients version of netmask
ordering) -- however this order should remain consistent
IF your client doesn't change subnets.

Going to a "hosts" file entry seems a little odd -- if you only
want one particular entry why not one entry in DNS?

I tend to agree about netmask ordering. But my take on it is even if round
robin is not disabled, netwmaks ordering will be the factor on what IP the
client will receive, based on the subnet of the querying client. So I would
say that it just works without needing to make any changes. Now of course,
I'm also assuming that AD Sites are configured, since the client will get an
IP of a logon server in it;s own subnet before it looks elsewhere.
