Hello,
is this possible that a user have same datas on 2 server and in domain DNS setting use
name server 1 : DN1 of server 1
name server 2 : DN1 of server 2

The name server 2 is to balance the traffic..
is this posible?
p.s: this customer do not use email ...only use HTTP


thanks

I would think you would need to use more of a round robin dns.

yup... you should use round-robin as rasputinj suggested.

add two A records..

www.domain.com. IN A 10.10.10.10
www.domain.com. IN A 10.10.10.11

and there you go...

ps. don't forget to sync and keep data up to date on both round-robin balanced servers
