DNS view

sang_froid · 03-30-2010, 04:13 PM

Hi,

I have two different networks A and B & servers as below

www A 192.168.1.1
A 192.168.2.1

smtp A 192.168.1.1

Whenever a client from A network queries for www, i would like to reply back one of the IPs, say 192.168.1.1 and when a client queries from B, i would like to reply back the other.

I know this can be done by creating views. However, as I have a long list of servers, such as "smtp" which I would like to reply back with same IP ( no matter whether queried from A network or B), I am just wondering if view can be created only for specific hosts (www in this case) and not the entire zone ?

Can this be achieved somehow ???

Hi,

What you can do is to use the same A record for the hosts like smtp in both views:

Code:

view A:
www IN A 192.168.1.1
smtp IN A 192.168.1.1

view B:
www IN A 192.168.2.1
smtp IN A 192.168.1.1

Regards

This is what I was thinking if can be avoided. It is because, I use dynamic dns and there will be lots of other hosts such as "smtp" in this case which will have the same IP for both internal and external hosts...

I didn't want to create view for entire zone...I wanted to create only for specific hosts. Is there any other way around to solve this ??
