I'm working with an IBM xSeries server. The server has dual broadcom NICS and is using the BACS utility from Broadcom to team the NICS in a SMART Load Balancing configuration. Whenever I setup the team, the DNS registration goes away and never comes back. If I do an ipconfig /registerdns it will register a DNS entry for me on the DNS server (a different server) and in about an hour the DNS entry will remove itself and never re-register. Have you ever seen this before? There are 2 other identical servers in the environment with the same setup and they do not perform this behavior.

Hi, How this server obtain address ? How many DNS servers which contain this zone in your environment ,and have you set replication ? Please enable DNS audit and start tracing: For more information please refer to the link below: Auditing a DNS Zone http://blogs.technet.com/b/yuridiogenes/archive/2008/03/06/auditing-a-dns-zone.aspx Thanks.

I have the same issue with BACS and a teamed dual broadcom NICs. Once the server has booted however, if you go into network properties of the team, and apply the settings it will re-activate correct DNS on the teamed NIC. If you reboot the server, you need to do this again. I have not been able to fix this. I have been waiting for Broadcom to fix this bug in their driver for over a year now... If anybody has any ideas, they would be much appreciated!
