Bug description:  cant connect to external db with dns name

I am running php 4.0.6 on IIS 5 on a windows 2000 server
My database runs ms sql 2000 on a windows 2000 server seperate machine from
the web server.

my dns is set so that my database machine is named labdb and its ip address
in 192.168.0.63

when I execute
function ConnectToDatabase()
{
        $dbname   = "is5sql";
        $dbserver = "labdb";

        if(!mssql_connect($dbserver, "interscale", "")){
                return FALSE;
        }
        
        if(!mssql_select_db($dbname)){
                return FALSE;
        }

        return TRUE;
}
I get an error that I cannot connect to the database.

when i execute:
function ConnectToDatabase()
{
        $dbname   = "is5sql";
        $dbserver = "192.168.0.63";

        if(!mssql_connect($dbserver, "interscale", "")){
                return FALSE;
        }
        
        if(!mssql_select_db($dbname)){
                return FALSE;
        }

        return TRUE;
}
this connects to the database and returns true.
I can connect to the database server with the dns name if i use ADO, but
not if i use the php_mssql.dll.

can this be fixed?
