How does that work? I thought for the client to resolve a server, it
needed either:
- connection doc with IP
- connection doc with DNS address
- server in WINS
My understanding is that the client will look for a connection doc and use
the information there to find the server. Upon not finding the server, it
will reference your server's NNN to find a valid address and finally WINS
using the host name. How would the client reference DNS for the proper
domain: e.g. I am on .ca.usa.com and my server is on .md.usa.com. How
would the client know to query server1.md.usa.com? Is there something you
need to do in DNS, like just a server1 alias?
I am curious because when we moved from Win32 to the iSeries, two weeks
after our migrations, mis-configured clients all of a sudden could not get
to the server since the WINS entries tombstoned. The only solutions were
to have the users configure properly or put in static WINS entries that
would not expire. Due to the volume of calls, we had to go with static
WINS entries and worry about mis-configured clients for another day.

If a client has the IP address in the connection document for the server,
it will use that, rather than DNS for name resolution.
remove the ip from the client connection document (it is optional) and the
clients will use the DNS to resolve the server name.
(I assume during dr the clients have access to a DNS which is pointing to
the new location of the domino server)

Disaster Recovery test - DNS resolution question
We're in the midst of our first DR implementation test. Currently we're
maintaining our dns server locally and have a BP who's hosting the
hardware we restored our R6.5 data on. We can ping the remote server so we
know were talking.
But were having a problem having users connect to Notes at the DR site.
We want our users to not notice that the server is no longer on site,
Apparently R6.5.1 is smart enough to know when our local site is up that
it won't even try to connect to the DR site. The only way we can force a
connect (while the local site is up) is to do a file, database, open, and
enter the IP address of the server at the DR site.
I'm not sure though, how to tell the notes clients that in the event that
our local server is not responding that it should look for the server at
the DR site. My thought is to enter Secondary Server info in the Advanced
setting of my location document on my client in the hope that it will use
it to refer to the DR site. If this works then I can use a desktop policy
setting to roll this info out to the clients. I'm going to test this
tonight.
Comments anyone?
