PPP adapter RAS server (Dial-In) interface is giving server an IP

[bdoub1eu]

Hi all, strange issue going on.

I have RRAS installed to allow users to dial into to our network. I was trying to ping the server for another reason and realized DNS was reolving this server to a different IP. Looked in DNS and saw that this server had two dns entries so I did an IPCONFIG on the server and saw two IP's...One for the ethernet card and the other for a PPP adapter RAS server (dial-in) interface. Don't know too much about RRAS for dialing in...Previous network admin did that...Is that normal? Users that dial in just get an IP from the RRAS settings/DHCP server so why would the RRAS server itself getting another IP and registring it in DNS?

Thanks in advacne!
