Search Again: QDNS/Webstar 4.2 Load Balancing question From: Shahnul Islam Date: Wednesday, September 6, 2000 Time: 12:25:38 pm Hi. This one is a little long but I wanted to let you guys know all the details. I have two servers with qdns and webstar on both machines (I am using the new load balance plugin and not the old responder plugin). They both serve multiple vitual hosts and each host is mirrored as follows: serverA IP: *.*.*.2 (this is dns1) serverB IP: *.*.*.3 (this is dns2) Virtual hosts (9) domainX.com resides on serverA with an ip of *.*.*.20 domainX.com also resides on serverB with ip of *.*.*.21 I have setup a load balancing record for domainX.com on serverB with both serverA and serverB in the dns fields. Then I put in the two ip addresses (20 & 21) in the load balancing hosts field. I then created a secondary load balancing record on serverA which has the following: domain name: domainX.com filename: domainX LBR IP address 1:*.*.*.2 IP address 2:*.*.*.3 Now I tested the setup on a client machine. When I use the dns2 as my primary dns then I ping domainX.com and get an ip of 20 and 21 alternately (this seems like the load balancing is working). however, when I use dns1 as my preffered dns I only get .20 (which is the virtual ip on dns1). Should not the alternating ip scenario be the case regardless of the dns i use as my primary? Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time. Shahnul Islam
