CI name alternating between DNS entries

[B_30]

Hi,

While discovering AIX servers, we've had an interesting observation. When we review the History for many of our AIX servers (Particularly those that have multiple DNS hostnames tied to the same IP address by design), we observe that the Name value is alternated between two values and often switches between each discovery.

Ie. DNS returns following for host 172.123.123.1111:

(host1.demo.com, host2.demo.com)

Thereafter, the name value of the AIX server CI will frequently alternate between 'host1' and 'host2'.

Our system properties are configured to resolve DNS to populate Name.

Appreciate any guidance/insight anyone may have towards resolving this in the simplest manner.

Is there any update on this issue. We have a similar requirement and client wants to have both DNS names tagged to the ip address. Literally have two DNS entries in the related list. Has anybody come across this scenario? Did you customize discovery pattern? Thanks!
