2 nic cards for 2 differnet dns entries

[Farooq Khan]

i have a win2k machine with 2 nic cards. i have assigned fixed ip address to
both of them and have 2 seperate entries in DNS (VServer and FServer
corresponding to the 2 ip addresses) for them. now when i try to browse them
by name i'm unable to do it i get error message saying duplicate name
exists. while i can ping them by name. the idea for this is to allow users
for 2 differnet purposes to access same machine through different nic cards.
any idea what i'm doing wrong here!????

best regards,
Farooq Khan

Unless you are building a Router, a Proxy, a NAT Device, a or Nic Teaming
Setup,....using two Nic cards is *always* a bad idea and never works the way
people think it does.
