Advanced Parameters for WINS Lookups
You can use the following advanced timing parameters with the WINS and WINS - R records:
Cache Time-out Indicates to a DNS server how long to cache any of the information returned in a WINS lookup. By default, this value is set to 15 minutes.
Lookup Time-out Specifies how long to wait for a response from a WINS server before timing out and querying the next WINS server specified in a WINS record. By default, this value is 2 seconds.
You configure these parameters by using the Advanced button in the Properties dialog box for the zone. This button appears on either the WINS or WINS - R tabbed sheet, depending on whether the zone you are configuring is being used for forward lookup or reverse lookup.
