Explanation:
When initially connecting to a server, Domino 7 tries all the addresses
for all the ports for that server until one works. To speed up subsequent
server searching, Notes and Domino default to caching the last successful
port and address for a server and use only the cached address for the rest
of the day. This makes attempts to connect to a server that is down very
fast. If an administrator plans to change the address of a server, it
should be done late in the evening, since the cache is not used again the
next day. This works well for servers that have only one address. However,
if the server has multiple valid addresses (it can be multi-homed with
multiple IPV4 addresses, or it can have both IPV6 and IPV4 addresses), and
a successful address for a server is unavailable, the remaining addresses
won't be tried until the next day, when the server cache is cleared. In
order to bypass the cache, and have the Domino server try all addresses
for a given server, you must set this notes.ini variable. Doing so will
cause slower server connection failures when servers go down, because
every connection attempt will try every port and every address.
0 (default) - Domino server will use port and address from the
cache
1 - Domino server
will try all ports and addresses for a given server
