your problem is the _very_ aggressive windows dns caching. we had
(have) the same problems with a loadbalanced (dns-round robin)
mailserver.=20
see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;en-us;245437

there's also an article about win xp and dns caching. just search
the knowledge base for dns caching.

for real load balancing you would need something like a samba ( i
assume you are using samba) loadbalancer, which redirects the request.=20
but i am not aware if such a solution exists.
