How to prevent DNS Registration on a server with 2 NIC? I have a Webserver with two NIC Card
NIC 1 IP 10.0.1.1
NIC 2 IP 10.0.1.2

I have two website configured on this server WEB1 and WEB2
WEB1 uses IP 10.0.1.1
WEB 2 uses IP 10.0.1.2

Under WEB1 I have 10 different Website (virtual directories)
Under WEB1 2 I have only 1 Website (virtual directory)

DNS has registerd both IP address. I have cleared the checkbox not to register 10.0.1.2 and it still register into DNS.

what's happening is when users try to access Intranet site it does not work. it is hosted under WEB1 / 10.0.1.1. When I delete the DNS entry for 10.0.1.2 it works or if I access it using IP address instead of name.

What's the best solution of this issue?
 
Try removing the DNS Servers from the Network Settings for the 10.0.1.2 NIC.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I removed DNS entry from 10.0.1.2. so, now it want make dns entry?

Why did it make registry entry at first time , I cleared the check box for Register the connection in DNS in TCP/IP properties where it says
 
Honestly I've got no idea why the checkbox doesn't work.

Removing the DNS servers IP addresses from the network info should prevent that NIC from registering it self in DNS.
