a WINS server for name resolution of the lower levels of the DNS hierarchical naming
structure. Because WINS assigns computer names dynamically, this effectively changes
DNS from a static system to a dynamic system.
If you are setting up multiple Web or FTP sites on a single server, each with its own IP
address, you might encounter problems with automatic DNS registration. To ensure
correct IP binding and DNS registration, disable Windows 2000 Server automatic DNS
registration and manually configure DNS registration for the Web sites. For more
information about disabling automatic DNS registration and manually configuring DNS
registration, see the Windows 2000 Server documentation.
If you want to assign multiple names to one server appliance, you must use a static name
assignment for the server appliance. On one computer you can map multiple names to one
IP address or you can use multiple names, each one mapped to its own IP address.

For people to reach your Web site, you must have a unique IP address that identifies your
computer on the network. This address is a long string of numbers separated by dots, for
example, 172.16.255.255. Because a numeric address is difficult for people to remember,
text names or friendly names, are used to provide visitors with an easy-to-remember
address, such as \\MyStoredFiles. Name resolution involves interpreting the correct
numerical address from the friendly name a user types into a client browser. This section
describes different name resolution systems.
