Hello...
I have a domain hosted off GraniteCanyon's nameservers and
have discovered a problem or error on my end. It could be
simply because I'm not adding it in the correct format, which is
why i'm asking here....
Basically I'm trying to add in a DNS for www.myhost.com to
point to several machines at the same time in case one of them
is down or temporarly unavailable. I have something like the
following setup (replacing myhost.com for my real domain name):
myserver.com. IN A my.ip.here
www2.myserver.com IN A my.2nd.ip.here
www3.myserver.com. IN A my.3rd.ip.here
www.myserver.com. IN CNAME myserver.com.
IN CNAME www2.myserver.com.
IN CNAME www3.myserver.com.
I am farmiliar with Unix DNSing and would use a IN A ip instead
of a CNAME name, but it seems that Granite Canyon won't allow
that type of aliasing. Since the above doesn't work, I'm guessing
they don't support the 'round robin' type feature as well?
Ideas, comments, fixes? Send'em to my email address since I usually
don't check usernet please! - Thanks.
