Re: Client Access Question

["Jeffrey Silberberg" <jsilberberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

        I can not answer  your question regards how CA will behave. But, you
can use the AS/400's ability to have mutilple IP addresses for a single
Interface (Multi-homeing) to test this.  Add a "private ip" to the AS/400
interface, then place this address in a pc's host/lmhost file and start CA
to see what happens.

        DNS resolution should always be secondary to the local host name
tables, although I have recently seen some Win/98 systems that do not seem
to be following this rule.

Subject: Client Access Question


>We use the TCP/IP setup of Client Access.  We need to renumber our internal
IP numbering scheme this summer with will require a change to the IP address
of the AS/400.  When we setup Client Access for TCP/IP if resolves the name
using our DNS and appears to save the current IP address in the registry.
When we renumber the DNS name of the AS/400 will be the same but the IP
address will change.

>My question is will Client Access detect this change in the IP address for
the name and update the registry setting for the IP address and let the user
attach to the system ? or am I looking at going to 500 PCs and reinstalling
Client Access to get the IP address updated.
