W2K & DNS...

Okay I got 2 machines

jboss2 - 192.168.1.16
jbosstest - 192.168.1.17

I make a dns entry for jboss as an alias pointing to either IP address when I need either one

so in W2k you can do \\jboss2\share would work and \\jbosstest\share it would work

now assuming if I have an alias i can do \\jboss\share but it'll goto either .16 or .17 if I have the right machine in the DNS..

it kinda work but for some reason \\jboss goes to .16 but wont let me into the share... any idea how to get around that ?
 
What are you trying to do?!?!?

Are you trying to create a DFS share by just using DDNS? If you want to have two shares that have the same thing, this is not the way to go. You will need to install DFS and create a DFS tree. If the share you want on two different machines will contain data that your users will be able to change, then you need to use DFS, not what you are doing with DNS. Let's say that you do get it working, then you will have two shares that are supposed to be "the same." But they will not be. They will contain data of different revisions.

Does that make sense? I hope it does. Let me know if it doesn't.
