SYMPTOMS
========
When you use NSLOOKUP to perform reverse lookup using a Windows NT 4.0 Domain
Name Service (DNS) server that has a network adapter with multiple IP addresses
(and has a zone that has "Use WINS Resolution" enabled) you receive the
following error:
[dns server] can't find IP address: Non-existent domain
CAUSE
=====
By design NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) supports only one IP address per network
interface card (NIC) adapter. It is possible to configure TCP/IP to have
multiple IP addresses on a single NIC, but NetBT will only support the first
address configured. For more information, please see the following Microsoft
