Folks,
I have a physical server running 1 instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 also on Windows 2008 R2 OS.
Server has 4 active physical NIC adapters. Configured with 4 static IPv4 addresses in a DNS round robin (not NIC teaming) 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.11 , 192.168.1.12, 192.168.1.13
Currently all workstations, running the front end app, point to this database server and the SQL instance name is: SERVER1\DB
Do i force a workstation to connect to a specific NIC adapter/IP of my database server by pointing the SQL instance name, for example into: 192.168.1.10\DB ?
Does SQL read the IP in the instance name rather than hostname?
Thanx
