vista, dns woes ?

[Bruce Hudson]

    For what it is worth, we do not use a global DNS option. We have two
subnets in a shared network, each with its own parameters.

	shared-network VLAN162 {
	    authoritative;
	
	    subnet 129.173.162.0  netmask 255.255.254.0 {
	        option domain-name-servers 129.173.1.100, 129.173.5.100;
	        option routers 129.173.162.1;
	
	        pool {          #VLAN162-DYNAMIC
	            range 129.173.163.194 129.173.163.248;
	            allow members of "registered-hosts";
	            allow known clients;
	        }
	    }
	
	    subnet 172.29.162.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 {
	        option domain-name-servers 129.173.1.101;
	        option routers 172.29.162.1;
	
	        pool {          #VLAN162-REGISTRY
	            range 172.29.162.50 172.29.163.248;
	            deny members of "registered-hosts";
	            deny known clients;
	        }
	    }
	}

   The DNS servers that some non-registered Vista clients are seeing are
our main servers, as specified in the main subnet.
