Re: DNS A Record Order.

In news:%23N0Rgho1GHA.4972@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Herb Martin <news@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> stated, which I commented on below:

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.

This latter part of the above is incorrect in GENERAL.

There is no guarantee that a client will use a Logon server
from the same SUBNET, but only that is will strongly tend
to use one from the SAME SITE (which may have many
subnets, or have a subnet in Sites that is actually inclusive
of many physical subnets on the wire.)

The order of the response data is arranged where the closest subnet data to
the client's subnet is offered in the reponse.

If Sites are configured, then what I'm saying is the response will be one in
it's own Site, such as during the logon process.
