Hi
One of my server has 2 NIC card.
IP of NIC1 let it 192.168.0.5 and ip if NIC let 192.168.0.10
Both the IP is added in DNS with same FQDN.
ie, if i nslookup the server with FQDN it shows both the IP
Name: myserver.test.com
Addresses: 192.168.0.5
192.168.0.10
Now if NIC1 of myserver is down and i ping the server i will get RTO, where as my NIC2 is up and server is running fine.
PS C:\Users\admin> ping myserver

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 1ms
I.e when i ping the server it resolving the NIC1 ip. Can you suggest any settings so that when i ping default ip should NIC2 ip.
