DNS Server redirect queries to 2 DCs

Hi All,

 

I am installing 2 new BIG-IP VE with GTM license in 2 DCs but I got a question regarding the DNS process. I have configured the listeners and other stuff but I wonder if the DNS server is capable of redirect the DNS queries for my new WIP to both listeners?

    I'm not quite sure I understand your question. if you want to be sure that both listeners are available and beeing used, you will need your zone delegation to point to both of them. The DNS specifications will then see to it that they will be load balanced by round robin as default. How your two GTMs then will respond to queries for WIPs is all up to your configuration.

    Hi Henrik,

     

    Thank you so much for your reply. Yes you got my question. I will make sure the delegation is pointing to both listeners so they can reply based on the established criterion.
