So there is only one question LEFT.

How is the interface selection done? Wich interface will be the first and the second, third,... one.

And how does this work if you have dynamic interfaces like VPN Adapters or Virtual Adapters?

Is there a change in this process with Win7 and W2008R2?

Thank you

Can you comment on the DNS resolver behavior changes in Windows Vista with regard to the handling of responses that include IP addresses that appear to be unreachable from the local host?

Any answers here? Windows 7 and Vista seem to prefer a VPN/PPP connection, but Windows XP would prefer ethernet/wireless connections.

I'd really like to get back the previous behavior.
