hopefully someone here can help me out with this nightmare:
I have a corporate network with ADDS, let's make believe this is a 192.168.10.x network.
I have a server that runs 3 VMs (one APP server, one SQL server and one web server) that are not connected to the corporate domain, but all the clients for these services are on the network domain. Each VM has 3 NICs (one required admin network between the VMs 192.168.100.x, one network to manage an ISILON storage solution 192.168.101.x, and the network that connects to the corporate domain 192.168.10.x).
I currently have no issues getting to these machines using their 10.x IP addresses. I can also get to them "sometimes" using their hostname. The issue is that the hostname I use will round-robin between the 3 different IP addresses assigned to each VM (100.x, 101.x and 10.x). I've gone in to the IPV4 settings for each NIC on the 100 networks and turned off the DNS option and the NetBios over TCPIP, but this problem still persists.
My question is: Is there a way to ensure that everytime a hostname like 'vmserver1' is used, it is correctly resolved to 192.168.10.x instead of 100.x or 101.x? As you can guess, if it resolves to 100.x or 101.x, I get no reply on the corporate domain.
My thanks for your help!!
