October 20, 200619 yr Can anyone direct me where to look...I've just put in a Symantec cluster solution to fail over from Sydney to Melbourne the problems is that the Virtual IP address for this server differ from site to site when I ping the box..Currently the Melbourne resource is off-line but if I log onto a server in our LAN\WAN if I ping the box I might get the Melbourne Virtual IP which times out but if someone else logs onto the same box and pings the box they will get the sydney address with a reply..a ipconfig /flushdns will resolve the problem my question is why is the DNS server not properly updating all the servers with the live connection address and why is it showing the off-line address for certain people...if someone is able to help me out it would be great...
October 20, 200619 yr Are you running the ping command from a client ? casue if an ipconfig /flushdns solves the problem it is not the server thats the problem but the client cache.I am not familiar with symantec cluster services, so i wonder how it does the failover ? does it update the dns reccords on the server? or is there an arbiter involved ?
