Dual-Homed 2012R2 Domain Controller?


windows experts,

i have customer requirement of dual-homed virtual 2012r2 domain controllers. these dcs @ service provider, back-end network requirement monitoring, maintenance, , backups. service provider hosting several 2008r2 dcs in configuration. however, 2012r2 dcs having issues. 

i have been researching week now, , believe configuration correct: have ensured front-end nic @ top of binding order, default route in front-end nic. no gateway entry on back-end nic, netbios on tcp/ip disabled on nics. dns listening on front-end nic, , dns registration active on front-end. dns round-robin disabled.

everything seems working correctly, except dns self-tests. if both nics active, dns self-tests fail. disable back-end nic, self-tests work correctly.

thanks insight,

"the service provider not provide front-end services management services. "

that not prevent creating own front-end services.  elaine notes, , find copious amounts of first-person reports, dual-homing dcs fraught lots , lots of issues.  in cases can made work.  in other cases continue fight issues.  because may have appeared work in 1 release in no way guarantees work in release because not tested because not microsoft recommends.

so, if service provided not provide external routers make trivial, put in own software routers.
