GetHostbyAddress problem --?

[Jerome Lavalley, MCSE]

I have an application that does a reverse lookup using
System.net.dns.gethostbyaddress, however I am encountering some problems.

If the application resolves the address of another machine it works fine,
but when resolving its own address, I get incorrect results.

SERVERA has 2 IP addresses (IPA1, IPA2). Each IP address has one DNS entry
(HOSTA1, HOSTA2)
SERVERB has 2 IP addresses (IPB1, IPB2). Each IP address has one DNS entry
(HOSTB1, HOSTB2)

If my application runs on SERVERA:

IPB1 resolves to HOSTB1
IPB2 resolves to HOSTB2

but...

IPA1 resolves to HOSTA1
IPA2 resolves to HOSTA1

If my application runs on SERVERB:

IPA1 resolves to HOSTA1
IPA2 resolves to HOSTA2

but...

IPB1 resolves to HOSTB1
IPB2 resolves to HOSTB1

Am I crazy?

can u do one ip at a times until ip resolved.

 

[Jerome Lavalley, MCSE]

No. I am only given one IP address and want the DNS entry that corresponds
with it.

Is no one else using this method?

I thought this method was using DNS, but clearly its not. Its doing
something different for the local machine. Any clue how I can force it to
use DNS??
