Re: DNS issue

Ace, we can map to the physical address of the severs but not to the virtual
ip that moves back and forth.Our local headquarters can map just fine in L.A
but in Cinncinati it wont connect when we try to map from a pc in L.A.
configured with the DNS server ipaddress in Cinncinati. The remote server we
are trying to connect to is in Chicago.

netahs <netahs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> stated, which I commented on
below:
We have a server located in a remote location on our network that
can't be mapped to from our Corporate headquarters using the FQDN or
ipaddress resolved by the corporate DNS server, but from our local
headquarters we can map just fine using the FQDN or ipaddress
resolved by our local DNS server.

Does it resolve to the same IP from both servers or are they different?


All of our local headquarter
servers including our remote servers are replicated from our local
headquaters to our Corporated headquarters, which is having problems
mapping.

If the zone is being transferred, then I would highly assume the data is
identical.
As for replicating the zone, do you mean the zone is AD Integrated? If so,
it would be getting replicated as part of the AD replication process, since
the zone data exists in the actual AD database.

This server is clustered so this FQDN is virtual and can
floats back and forth in case the server goes down. It is interesting
that the FQDN and ipaddress of the physical server can be mapped both
from our Corporate headquarters and our local headquarters.

As far as I remember, you can map to each physcial member in a cluster. But
the idea is to map to the ClusterIP. Can I assume the cluster IP is the IP
in DNS? Unless there's more than one IP for the name showing up? If so, you
would only want the Cluster IP to be the one showing for the server's
hostname record in DNS.


Can anyone please help in diagnosing this issue

Thank You,
