Configuring DNS on a Linux Bind Server

You can configure DNS on Linux® Bind Server for load distribution across the physical nodes in the cluster.

1. On the Linux Bind Server, edit the zone file by using your choice of editor.

   Depending on the Linux distribution, the file is located at:

   /var/named/*

   or

   /etc/bind/zones/*
2. Create an entry for the hostname by using the FQDN of the cluster, and create an A record entry for each VIP, as shown in the following example:

   myserver.mydomain.com IN A 192.0.2.01
                                  IN A 192.0.2.02
                                  IN A 192.0.2.03
                                  IN A 192.0.2.04

3. Save the file.
