  • Article

The DNS_WINS_DATA structure represents a DNS Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) record.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  DWORD       dwMappingFlag;
  DWORD       dwLookupTimeout;
  DWORD       dwCacheTimeout;
  DWORD       cWinsServerCount;
#if ...
  IP4_ADDRESS WinsServers[];
#else
  IP4_ADDRESS WinsServers[1];
#endif
} DNS_WINS_DATA, *PDNS_WINS_DATA;

Members

dwMappingFlag

The WINS mapping flag that specifies whether the record must be included in zone replication. dwMappingFlag must be one of these mutually exclusive values:

DNS_WINS_FLAG_LOCAL
 Record is local, do not replicate.

dwLookupTimeout

The time, in seconds, that a DNS Server attempts resolution using WINS lookup.

dwCacheTimeout

The time, in seconds, that a DNS Server using WINS lookup may cache the WINS Server's response.

cWinsServerCount

The number of WINS Servers listed in WinsServers.

WinsServers

An array of IP4_ARRAY structures that contain the IPv4 address of the WINS lookup Servers.

WinsServers[1]

An array of IP4_ARRAY structures that contain the IPv4 address of the WINS lookup Servers.

Remarks

The DNS_WINS_DATA structure is used in conjunction with the DNS_RECORD structure to programmatically manage DNS entries.
