Hi,
(I think I posted this a few weeks ago, but I haven't found the solution
and had no replies.)
I have a multi-homed server, one interface of which is on the same subnet
as the majority of clients and the other is on a different one (but still
reachable, through a router).
When connecting to the server, it seems to be chance which one of these
interfaces I get.
I believe DNS servers (e.g. BIND) have an address sorting system which
gives out an address on the same subnet as the client (where possible) as
the primary (first) address. Does nmbd not do this (I'm using WINS).
I've tried forcing the address on the clients using an LMHOSTS file like:
CARROT 134.225.241.8 #pre
But that appears not to be working (although I'd prefer not to do that
anyway).
Any suggestions? (I'm using Samba 1.9.18p10.)
