Question

Your partner company is preparing to launch a Web server. They expect heavy traffic to the Web site, so they would like your assistance with configuring a load balancing solution. As a temporary measure, you have decided to replicate the static Web content from one server to two other servers, and then use DNS round robin to load balance requests to the Web server.

Complete the following tasks:
-Enable round robin for the PartnerServer DNS server.
-Create three host (A) records in the PartnerNet.org zone using the following information:
Host name IP address
www.PartnerNet.org
-Create the associated pointer (PTR) records for each host record.

Answer 1

To enable round robin for the PartnerServer DNS server, configure the DNS server software. Create three host (A) records for the PartnerNet.org zone. Create associated PTR records for each host record.

Step-by-step explanation:

To enable round robin for the PartnerServer DNS server, you need to configure the DNS server software to perform a round robin load balancing method. This can typically be done through the DNS server's configuration settings or through third-party software. Once enabled, the DNS server will rotate the IP addresses associated with a domain name, distributing the traffic across multiple servers.

To create the host (A) records for the PartnerNet.org zone, you will need to access the DNS management interface or software. Create three host records with the host names and respective IP addresses:

• www.PartnerNet.org - IP address 1
• www2.PartnerNet.org - IP address 2
• www3.PartnerNet.org - IP address 3

To create the associated PTR records, you will need to either manually configure the reverse DNS lookup zone or use a tool provided by your DNS server software. The PTR records should match the IP addresses and corresponding host names for each A record.
