We have a control system in place with a primary and backup domain controller. They are a multihomed domain server. We have multiple NICs that the DNS is monitoring. The question is we have panelviews that are trying to authenticate against the DNS using LDAP and our servers are denying the request. Any idea on what setting would allow this authentication?

    Multi-homing a domain controller always causes no end to grief for active directory domain DNS. Better to do the routing on layer 3 switch hardware.

    Thank you so much for posting here.

    MULTIHOMED domain controller is not recommended, it always results in multiple problems. Hope something here might be of some help to you.
