Prevent IP insertion into AD DNS?

[intelwizrd]

Does anyone know how I can prevent a domain controller from inserting an IP address into the DNS records.

Situation: W2k3 Enterprise Domain Controller w/ VPN set up. It has two NIC's, one for the vpn and one for the lan. Both IP's on the interfaces are in the same class C. When the server boots up it automatically inserts the IP for the lan interface (which is ok), the IP for the VPN interface (not ok), and the IP on the virtual interface for the users connected to the VPN (using a span of 10 ip address for users connected to the VPN, span is in same network range for the other users and both ip on the physical interfaces of the server).

I have noticed that when a user is experiencing long wait times for files to appear in explorer, their machine is trying to use the ip address for the VPN interface or the virtual interface. (ie "ping fileserver" results return ip of xxx.xxx.xxx.101 or xxx.xxx.xxx.103, these are the ips used on the vpn interface and virtual interface respectively) They should be using xxx.xxx.xxx.100.

I delete the entries and when the DC is rebooted, the entries come back.

What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Haven't you reserved the ip's for the ip's you don't want used?

you mean am i using DHCP? no. sorry forgot to mention that. Everything is static. Small network segment and it really isn't a big deal at this point. I just dont want the server to insert host records for every ip on every interface, just the interface that the users access it on.

It has xxx.xxx.xxx.100, xxx.xxx.xxx.101, and xxx.xxx.xxx.103 assigned to it. I only want other computers on the network to know about xxx.xxx.xxx.100.

Since you're using static IP addresses, just disable the ability to update the DNS zone.
