In prior versions of windows (Windows 2000/2003 for instance) checking
"Register this connection's addresses in DNS" (on a particular NIC's TCP/IP
properties) only registered the primary/first NIC ip address in DNS.
In Windows 2008 checking "Register this connection's addresses in DNS" seems
to result in ALL NIC ip addresses being automatically registered in DNS.
This new behavior is undesirable as we have windows services that bind to
specific ip addresses and with multiple DNS records registered, dns lookups
don't always result in the correct IP address being returned.
We could turn off "Register this connection's addresses in DNS" and manually
establish records for each server but that's not an ideal solution. Is there
some way to revert the behavior back to the way it was in older versions of
windows?
Thanks!
