Re: RRAS clients not updating WINS / DNS

WINS is notoriously slow to drop records, so that is probably not the
way to go.

I looked at this problem some time ago. DNS seemed to respond pretty
quickly. Are you saying that the remotes are not registering at all in DNS?
If so, check the zone they are set to register in. I set up a separate zone
for the remotes and set the clients to register in that one. Also check that
the DNS server is not set to listen on only the LAN interface.
