That will work for anything, it will however break session based reconnects, just something to remember...

Hi guys, I know this question has been asked a number of times but I just want to be sure.<br />
<br />
I have 2 servers each hosting the same application.<br />
<br />
When a user tries to connect to the application I want DNS to to respond by giving it the IP address of server 1, then server 2, etc.<br />
<br />
I have enabled DNS round robin but am not sure how to create the host entries.<br />
<br />
Do I just create 2 new A host entries with the same name and different IP addresses (each pointing to the relevant server)?<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
Name = application<br />
IP = server1<br />
<br />
Name = application<br />
IP = server2<br />
<br />
Is that right?

DNS round robin

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
