I just finished a migration. On my old server, the DNS server used the secondary IP address that I had bound to the NIC. When I reinstalled DNS/DHCP, I had forgotten to put the "add secondary address" line in my autoexec.ncf. The new install assigned the DNS server to my primary IP address. No workstations were able to get DNS services from the server, because they were being told to look to the old address for DNS. I added the secondary IP address and rebooted. I now have DNS servers running on both IP addresses and DNS works again. How do I remove the DNS service from the primary address? There is actually four listings in the IP Address Management screen, two for each IP address. Is that normal?

It's normal for all bound addresses to be listed as NAMED binds to all available addresses when it is loaded. I don't know why each would appear twice though. If all is working OK, you can probably ignore it, or if it's really bugging you, you could poke around in ConsoleOne, probably the Other tab for the server, and see if you can find and remove the extras. -- bd NSC Volunteer SysOp
