Hi, Please clarify what you mean when you mention “backup ip”. Do you mean a secondary DNS server, a multihomed server, DPM or others? The following links may be reference: HOW TO: Configure a Secondary Name Server in Windows Server 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816518#appliesto Default Gateway Configuration for Multihomed Computers http://support.microsoft.com/kb/157025#appliesto Using Backup Network Address http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff399746.aspx Regards, Cecilia Zhou -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
