 ## More information
 
-When you try to connect to a listener that is defined on more than one subnet, the operation may fail if the client driver tries to connect by using one of the listener's offline IP addresses.
+When you try to connect to a listener that is defined on more than one subnet, the operation might fail if the client driver tries to connect by using one of the listener's offline IP addresses.
 
 When a listener is created, an IP address is designated for each unique subnet that an availability group replica is hosted in. For example, if a listener is created for an availability group that has replicas that exist in two subnets, two IP addresses are defined in the listener. One address is used by an application that can connect to an instance of SQL Server in subnet 1, and the other address is used when an application connects to an instance of SQL Server in subnet 2.
 
-Behind the scenes, the listener creates a Windows cluster Client Access Point resource. One of its properties is `RegisterAllProvidersIP`. When a listener is created, this is set to **1**, and all the listener's IP addresses are registered in DNS server. This configuration provides reduced reconnection time for clients.

-Because the DNS record contains all the IP addresses, a client that tries to connect to the listener must know how to handle this situation. The `MultiSubnetFailover` parameter enables the client driver to try connections in parallel to all the listener's IP addresses. Without the `MultiSubnetFailover` parameter, the client driver will try to connect sequentially to all IP addresses for the listener. Sequential connections may cause a long logon time or logon time-outs.

 You can disable or enable Windows kernel case insensitivity by using the following registry key:
 
-Path: `HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\kernel` \
-Value name: `obcaseinsensitive` \

 SQL Server relies on the Windows default value of 1 (one) for this key.

-> As soon as this key is set to 0 (zero) on a system on which SQL Server is installed, the operation of setting the key back to 1 (one) is not a tested scenario for SQL Server. Additionally, this behavior is not supported. Therefore, we recommend a clean reinstallation of SQL Server on a server on which this key has never been changed.
