Directing Database traffic to specific NIC adapter

$

0

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
