multiple ip primary dns issue?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I have a win2k3 ent. server with 5 ip address in a 192.168.0.x/24
subnet (xxx.xxx.0.5, .7, .8, .9, .10). dns is set to master and dynamic
update enable from any host (mixed env. with lin., mac, etc..). here is
the problem:

ns1 is set to 0.10
ftp is set to 0.8
"netbios name" is set to 0.7
www is set to 0.5


being that the dns server is set to dynamic update, the ip address gets
changed to .10 every time. how can i set .7 to be the primary dns for
the netbios name.

i have made .7 the ip in the tcp/ip properties of the nic followed by
the rest with .10 being last. i have netbios over tcp/ip disabled in my
network.

any ideas? thanks

P.S. just to test, i changed the ip address for ns1 to .9 and made the
netbiosname .7. after a few min. the ns1 and netbiosname were the same,
..9? very wierd not sure what it is?

P.S.S. final note for todays testing. the netbiosname will
automatically match the ip address listed in the interfaces tab on the
listen on: section of the dns server properties. also, an new NS record
is added to DNS for the netbios name that just cahnged... is this a
flaw or can the ip addresses be seperate?
