OK, so I've added two entries with the name RoundRobinTS and the IP address 10.1.1.27 and 10.1.1.29. I've just pinged RoundRobinTS.mynet.local and it keeps replying with 10.1.1.27. Is this due to the TTL? What's a good value if I want to put 4 W2K terminal servers into a round robin?

I'm looking at the DNS MMC Snap in, where (briefly) would this go? DNS -- DC -- Forward Lookup Zones | -- . | | -- arpa | | | -- in-addr | | | -- 10 | | -- local | | | -- mynet | -- mynet.local | -- _msdcs | | -- dc | | | -- _sites | | | | -- SITE1 | | | | | -- _tcp | | | | -- SITE2 | | | | -- _tcp | | | -- _tcp | | -- domains | | | -- CLSID-number-in-full | | | -- _tcp | | -- gc | | | -- _sites | | | | -- SITE1 | | | | | -- _tcp | | | | -- SITE2 | | | | -- _tcp | | | -- _tcp | | -- pdc | | -- _tcp | -- _sites | | -- SITE1 | | | -- _tcp | | -- SITE2 | | -- _tcp | -- _tcp | -- _udp -- Reverse Lookup Zones -- 10.x.x.x Subnet -- 1 | -- 1 | -- 2 Does this remind anyone of the Tree command in DOS? :) Jon Spriggs -- The presence of a "Fujitsu" address does not imply or assume that Fujitsu Services, Fujitsu or any other company containing the Fujitsu name uses or endorses this product.
