The DNS search order is reversed on the DHCP client in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008 when you use dial-up or a VPN connection to connect to a Routing and Remote Access server
You use a dial-up or a virtual private network (VPN) connection to connect to a Routing and Remote Access server. However, the list of Domain Name System (DNS) servers that is stored on the Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008-based Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client computer is in reverse order.
For example, when you connect to the Routing and Remote Access server, the DHCP server sends the DNS IP addresses in the preferred order:
10.200.200.200 10.201.201.201
However, if you view the TCP/IP protocol properties on the client computer, the DNS IP addresses appear in the following order:
10.201.201.201 10.200.200.200
This problem may cause excessive WAN traffic or poor DNS performance.
