Is this a Domain Controller?
Domain Controllers use the IP on the interface that is listens on
(interfaces tab) to register the A record with its name. Changing this
behavior to register a record not physically on the DC will break
replication.
If it is not a DC and the DNS server is used strictly for Public resolution,
use the PublishAddresses value in the registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DNS\Parameters
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click String Value to add the
following registry value:
Value name: PublishAddresses
Data type: REG_SZ
Value data: IP address
