outlook 2003 connecting to Exchange Server 2003

[Michael]

I have a multihomed environment and am trying to connect
my user to my exchange 2003 server. The Primary NIC is
used for Internet access and the Secondary is used the
connect to my Exchange server. When I setup Outlook 2003
in the Exchange Server field it always wants to resolve
the server name to the FQDN. Then it searches for the
public IP Address on the Primary NIC. If I ping the
server name it knows which NIC to use and doesn't have a
problem. How can i set it up to only look for the server
name?

try entering the IP address of the server instead of the name for
resolution.

This can occur due to DNS misconfiguration. All servers and workstations
should specify the internal AD-integrated DNS server's IP address in their
network settings. The AD-integrated DNS server should be set up with
forwarders to several public DNS servers for external resolution.

See if changing the way outlook resolves names helps:
