Hey Guys,

I have 2 servers, I was wondering how to setup a DNS cluster between them. I've done some research on this and it looks like I have to setup a DNS trust relationship and then make server 1 a master nameserver and get server 2 to connect to server 1's DNS server...noooo idea how to do either of these so if anyone could help me out, that'd be great!


I have :
ns1.domain.com set to server 1's IP
ns2.domain.com set to server 2's IP

I've added an A record on server 1 that points domain.com to server 2's IP. Is this right?

Thanks!
 
First please define what you mean as a DNS Cluster.

The HP site says:
7.1 DNS Clusters

TCP/IP Services defines the term DNS cluster to refer to several A resource records for a single host name. This could be the A resource records for a multihomed host or the A resource records for one or more servers which are to share a work load.

Using that definition you'd be looking to use DNS to do round-robin hosting.

Or do you mean something else entirely?

Its not supposed to be round robin. Basically each server has different information and I need to set it up so that when I access mydomain.com/fileOnServer2 the file thats hosted on server 2 will show up.

Also when users login to our site and upload their file, it should go into their folder on the correct server. So if user 20000 has a folder "20000" on server 2, they should be able to upload from the web site hosted on server 1 to their folder. So in essence server 2 just adds storage space to server 1.

Let me know if that make it more clear! Thanks.
 
NFS. Network File System.

I made another post on NFS a few minutes ago; was that you as well?

Anyway, read the other post, and all the documentation you can find on NFS.

Nothing to do with DNS.
