RRAS IP's in DNS

[Shawn Bahe]

Hi all,

A couple of questions for the group:

I have a few remote sites that have only one server set up as a
domain controller for their site. The servers each run DNS, too.
Because I need these servers VPN'd back into my central office,
I have them set up with RRAS, with a persistent VPN back into
my central network.

In each sever's forward lookup zone, I see HostA records of the
VPN address on my central network, as well as some other
RRAS IP on the remote network. Thus, in the remote FLZ,
there are three addresses for the same box!

1.) Wouldn't this cause some "confusion" for workstations on
the remote site's LAN?

2.) Is this normal (or even valid) behavior?

3.) How can I not have the VPN and RRAS address register?

Thanks a lot, that was exactly what needed to happen.
Add the two registry items, restart services, and bam!
Only one IP for the server box in the FLZ.
