Making IP Address Resolution Faster
One way to achieve faster failover without necessarily increasing network traffic
is to define IP addresses in the hosts files of all computers on the network:
1
On all Station PCs, ensure that there is an entry in the hosts file
(%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) for both server
computers.
2
On both server computers, ensure that there is an entry in the hosts file
(%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) for every Station
computer.
Note Stations configured as static stations reconnect marginally more
quickly than those configured as rotary stations.
