Up to Vista, RFC3484 does not apply to determine which interface is used to send out a DNS query. The "preferred" interface is used. Because of retries, eventually the right interface will hopefully get used (not perfect, though). Windows 7 introduces a new feature called Direct Access: http://www.microsoft.com/directaccess As part of that, the new Name Resolution Policy Table (NRPT) introduces the capability to define DNS servers per name space (per interface already exists, as the draft mentions). If you want more info on this, please download the "DirectAccess Early Adopter's Guide" from the above web site. Gabriel
