windows clients will actualy send unicast to ALL listed dns servers...
Instead of quearying the first, timeout, second, timeout, etc.... They just
assume all will time out and send it to all listed. but it is definately
unicast.

This may be a silly question but I'm tired of searching for the answer, so
here's the question:
Does a Windows client send unicast or broadcast packets when querying a DNS
server(s)?
The reason I'm asking is that I was looking through my old CID book and came
across the statement that "Windows clients send unicast packets to the WINS
server at a well-known address". However, there is nothing regarding this
when it comes to DNS. An Internet search came up with the same thing
everywhere I looked: "the Windows client sends a DNS query". What kind of
query? Unicast or Broadcast?
