weird round robin behaviour 2

[peterve]

I have a NT4 DNS server,
it contains 2 records with the same name, but with different IP addresses
If I ping to the fqdn from a NT4 machine twice, I get another IP address every time I ping (round robin)

But when I ping to the fqdn with a Windows 2000 machine, I always get the same IP address...

what is wrong here ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work

Hi,

May sound like this article of the Microsoft TechNet : Q245437 "Windows 2000 contains a client-side Domain Name System (DNS) cache. The client-side DNS caching may generate a false impression that DNS "round robin"
is not taking place from the DNS server to the Windows 2000 client. Pinging the same A-record domain name may result in the client using the same IP address.
This behavior is different from previous Microsoft operating systems."
