domain
>192.168.31.22 - the secondary IP of our Exchange server
>192.168.32.32 - a utility win2k workstation.

logging these

>Is one of the problems due to the fact that the exchange
server has

primary IP
>will resolve as the same name as the machine object in AD
but the

the dns but NOT

thousands of errors
