Hi, I have 5 sites and 5 dns servers. Each is primary for it's own site and secondary for another site. I can survive any single dns server failure except.... when it comes to Declude.
A long time ago we were told Declude does not properly follow the Windows settings for primary, secondary and if neccesary tertiary dns server and we needed to provide ONE dns server in the Declude config. After a Declude upgrade a while ago I started with a fresh default config file and noticed the dns settings were comented so I left them at that and assumed Declude would one again use the same dns servers Windows has configured. Unfortunately the dns server reponsible for the site where the mailserver is failed yesterday for most of the day after a problem during maintenance. The secondary server took over for just about all servers / services except the Declude service. Mail was realy slow of course. :-( Is the problem that prevented us in the past from defining more then one dns server finaly resolved? Can I have a secondary dns server in Declude today? If not now, when can I? I know I can solve the problem for Declude by using a cluster of dns servers with one public ip-number but.... I have not done anything with clusters yet and: - my current dns servers have a load of close to nothing - my current dns servers are also my Active Directory DCs Yes, we will have virtual servers pretty soon too so I can have fast fail over on the dns server But... What if I want to do a fail over to my backup site? The mail server might still want to use the dns server at my primary site which will probably have a problem because I have switched to the backup site. Any clustering of dns servers at my primary site would then still be usesless. I simply want Declude to use any of the 5 dns servers I have today.
