resolving AD domain name to IP address

[inssain96]

Here's an easy one...

what determines what your AD domain name will resolve to? Note: either the FQDN or just the "sub" in "sub.domain.com".

It is now resolving to the newest DC installed, but when I do a "ipconfig /flushdns" it begins resolving the second to last DC installed. Another "ipconfig /flushdns" caused resolution to be turned back to the newest, and yet another picks a local DC.

Any ideas???

Thanks,

After doing some more testing:

it looks like the Pri DNS server gives the client a listing of all records associated to "sub.dom.com". It then appears that the client is the one that "round robin's" the entries and will rotate between them after each /flushdns. If anyone knows this to be different please share...
