[ale] OT: WIN2k Networking

[Denny Chambers]

Hi all,

    I have been looking at Windows 2k TCP/IP networking (Professional 
Workstation in vmware), and I have notice that when you have multiple 
NIC cards, that it lets you setup all of the TCP/IP information 
seperately for each NIC. This mean I can setup an IPaddress, subnetmask 
on each card (this is normal). I can also setup not just one Default 
Gateway per card, but multiple Default Gateways per card (So which one 
is the Default?). Also each card can have it's own set of DNS servers, 
and it's own set of WINS servers. I am curious as to how the services 
(DNS, WINS, Routing) handle all of this. Normally you would only have 
one DefaultGateway for a system, with additional routes to other 
subnets. You also would have one set of DNS servers (primary, secondary, 
and tertiary), a DNS domain, and a set of search Domains.

Can any Microsoft knowledgable folks shed some light on this.

Thanks,
Denny
