new Server build name as Existing DNS Alias Record

Hi,


I have Server in place for   as RTCServer1  with static IP Address and Alias record as WebServer1.  Now there is requirement from business to build new server with another static IP address but  Server must be named Webserver1. because of the   ERP  application restriction.  I think this will conflict with DNS record.

Please can any one  clear my confusion  is this possible to set new server with Similar name   of Existing Alias (CAME) Record.

Regards
Asif

Hi David,

Thanks for quick reply, the original server name is suppose RTCserver1 but it has Alias CNAME WebServer1.

As my understanding  I cannot setup an other server with similar name  Webserver1 because Alias Record already exist in DNS.


please comment.

Thanks

To my knowledge you can add it to AD and have a DNS record but you will have huge problems as it will most likely round robin the traffic to either or IP. So half the packets designated for the other server will end up at the new Server and vise versa...

Hope that makes sense,

Charles
Thanks I have build the server as new name and new dns record and rest left for erp team.
