7373.0. "Nameserver not reachable if second gateway is used" by RTOMS::KARNBAUMW () Fri Mar 21 1997 10:24

    hallo,
    
    a customer of mine is trying to setup a second gateway for failover
    in his 'pwtcp.ini' on PW V5.1 Dos/Window client with the entry
    DefaultGW1=.......
    
    Now when he turns off the first gateway the second one takes over
    as long as TCP/IP numbers are used. As soon as TCPIP names are
    used from the Nameserver, the names caanot be resolved.
    
    Only when PC's are in the same subnet as the Nameserver the names
    get resolved.
    
    Can anybody help to troubleshoot this
    
    Thanks

7373.1Timeout problem??NETRIX::"[email protected]"S. BalachandarTue Mar 25 1997 00:3512
Hi,

Try increasing the Timeout value in [DNR] section of
PWTCP.INI.

(I hope you could ping the DNS from the other subnet,
by giving the IP address!)

7373.2DNS server and static routesRTOMS::KARNBAUMWMon Apr 07 1997 04:3117
    hi,
    
    sorry i was not correct in my first note:
    The customer can reach nodes over the second
    gateway if he uses node numbers, but not if
    he uses node names, which are resolved by a 
    DNS server.
    So the problem seems to be, that the DNS server
    is not recognized or reached via the second 
    gateway.
    Also the customer uses static routes on his
    gateways to reach the subnet, where the DNS
    server is located.
    
    any thoughts ?
