Thank you, sir! After digging around in dozens of threads where there were dozens of solutions, none of which seemed to work, keeping the DNS role from binding to my second NIC resolved this problem.

Seems obvious in retrospect!

Take 2 – Forgot HTML escape codes:

Netsh int ipv4 add address skipassource=true

Single Server Multiple IPs:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975808/EN-US
It will install on Windows 2008 server as well not just Vista.

Then register new IPs from command line:
Netsh int ipv4 add address skipassource=true

This will prevent secondary addresses from registering on the box. If you add it using the GUI, even after the hotfix, you will STILL register the DNS record as the GUI registers addresses as (Preferred)

Also disable IPv6 if you are not using it:
objShell.RegWrite “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents”, 255, “REG_DWORD”

Windows 2008 is a pain!
