So recently we had some DNS issues at some locations and it brought down access via the Horizon View Client. Each location had three DNS servers configured and only the primary was having issues. There were no other software having issues resolving addresses that I know of.
So here is what I found in my testing...
- If the primary server is completely down and not responding, Horizon View Client can resolve the host address fine.
- If the primary server is up but not responding in a proper manner to requests, Horizon View Client cannot resolve the host name.
-Horizon View Client 5.4.0.1219906 handles the issue appropriately and can resolve the host.
-Horizon View Client 2.2.0.13999, 2.3.3.18259, and 3.1.0.21879 all fail to resolve the host
It would be nice if the newer versions handled bad DNS responses as well as the old client did.
Please share if you know anything.
Thanks
