DNS round robin 1

[peterve]

Mixed environment :
Win2K server is primary DNS server
a couple of NT4 servers are secondary DNS servers

Round robin doesn't work when resolving against the Win2K Server; but it works when resolving against the NT4 boxes...

How can I get round robin to work on my Win2K server as well ? (Yes, the round robin option is turned on in the DNS server properties, and yes, I disabled client DNS caching on my workstations)

small remark : Win2K DNS is configured to use WINS for additional resolution. Turning off that option does not make a difference.

I don't want to sound rude, but that is what I meant with

(yes, I disabled client DNS caching)
Besides, it is working well against my NT4 secondary boxes, and not against my Win2K (primary) DNS box

did you clear the "Enable Netmask Ordering" option on your 2K nameserver?
