The client I am currently with names each interface, too, but I've never
seen this problem related to the DNS. I have seen it happen when an
existing router has an additional interface defined; when Netview finds the
new interface, it does not change the existing router, but adds another
router with only that interface. Delete both objects and Netview will
rediscover correctly.

Subject: Re: Routers that appears twice
Yes, we see this at our locations a lot. For us, it's a problem with
the DNS, for some strange reason, the WAN people at my client site
decided to give a DNS name for each interface on the router. It's not
too briliant of an idea, but it's something i have to live with.
During the initial discovery ping sweep, it sees the address and
resolve a name to the address. Since there are multiple DNS entries
associated with the same router, it creates two entries in the map.
What I ended up doing is delete both entry, put the ip address of the
interface I care about in the netmon.seed. Once I discovered the
correct one, I demand poll it and most of the time it will generate a
correct symbol. It's a painstaking process.
Hope this helps.
