Network Addressing Question

We have two domains. Let's call them DOMAIN1 and DOMAIN2.

Let's put two servers on DOMAIN2 and call them PRIMARY and BACKUP

PRIMARY = 142.16.94.30
BACKUP = 142.16.94.31

NLB is set up on PRIMARY(100%) and BACKUP(0%) as 142.16.94.35

RESOURCE is defined in the DOMAIN1 dns as 142.16.94.35

When logged on to DOMAIN1, I type "ping RESOURCE"

I get several replies from 142.16.94.35

I type "dir \\142.16.94.35\C$"

I get a listing of the files and folders under the share

I type "dir \\RESOURCE\C$"

I get "You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the
network. Go to System in Control Panel to change the computer name and try
again."

RESOURCE resolves to 142.16.94.35 so why do I get the error with one and not
the other? Is it complaining about a duplicate because RESOURCE can actually
resolve to two different machines? How can I change things so I can use the
RESOURCE name insted of the NLB name?
