WINS, DHCP, and DNS Not Supported As Failover Resources
This article was previously published under Q174956 SUMMARY
Microsoft Cluster Server does not support the configuration of the Windows
Internet Name Service (WINS), Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP), and Domain Name Service (DNS) as failover resources.
MORE INFORMATION
Cluster Server does not contain support for failover of a WINS server from one node to another. WINS may use push/pull replication between two WINS servers, allowing an alternate server for clients in the event
that one server fails. The client may configure for primary and secondary
WINS servers. In the event that one WINS server fails, the clients may use
the other WINS server.
For additional information on WINS, please see the following white paper available on the Microsoft anonymous FTP server:
File Name: Winswp.exe
Windows 2000 supports DHCP and WINS on clusters for scalability and fault tolerance.
