DNS: can yuou have multiple IPs in use?
we are about o move location and it would be really handy if we could get several servers to have multiple dns records,
current site has totally differnt external ips to new site.
email, fine i just add mx records with differnt costing.
but not sure about (A) and www and PTR records
site a
web server = 111.111.111.11
ptr = web.mydomain.com 111.111.111.11
site b
webserver = 222.222.222.22
ptr = web.mydomain.com 222.222.222.22
same physical server but need it to work at either site (test on a tuesday) move for real on the friday, as there is a lead time both running with faiilover is preffered.
isp can only offer round robin on www records,
yet to have an answer on reverse lookups
what other ways could you get round this, surley large farms of web servers have one domain name and multiple IPS?
