A Record for secondary IP address

[xbofax]

First, I'd like to apologise if this question has been asked before. I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple A Records for the same domain.

I have a domain setup for remote.mydomain.com, which points to a remote access server within our office. If our internet connection goes down, I want to be able to access the domain via our secondary internet line (which obviously has a different IP).

Is that possible?

Thanks, Debbie

Yes it is.

You need to plug the second eth cable (the one of the second line) to a second eth on the server and set it with the secondary IP.

Then just add an A record on DNS management with the value remote and the IP of the second line (that should be a static one).

I guess the second IP for one A record is not what the TS wants, as in this case it will a Round-Robin DNS, and IPs will be given randomly, without relation to the status of the main connectivity.

@xbofax,

You'd better search with Google, as this subject has nothing to do with Directadmin in wide meaning. And you should first of all organize it on system level (you might need to use BGP, OSPF routing even and set up a backup route) to achieve the desired.
