We're adding a second web server for redundancy and load sharing purposes. All connections are mandated to be SSL, and adding a dedicated appliance is not possible at this moment. I'd like to use round robin DNS, where both servers answer to the same domain using different IPs (we have a wildcard SSL certificate, so that's OK). I can ge...
I'm experimenting with an idea for a local network application that requires a dynamic DNS server that get new addresses from a database. This is only for prototyping but I need to be able to extend it using some Java logic and a SQL database. Any ideas? ...
We design and host websites for our clients/sales force. We have our own domain: http://www.firstheartland.com Our agents fill out a series of forms on our website that are loaded into a database.

I have an active directory domain controller in the 10.1.x.x address space that hosts some files. These files are replicated using DFS-R to a second machine over a crossover cable on a dedicated interface in the 192.168.x.x address space. The replication setup works great, but the domain controller keeps creating a DNS A record that poi...

Hi all, Is there a way to programmatically remove an address from windows' dns cache, or to re-resolve it? I'm using c#, but native code would be just fine (however, playing with the registry would not be). I'm writing a little application that measures the amount of time it takes to resolve an address and would like to avoid caching i...
I want to setup a system so that multiple custom domains like [mydomain.com/params] will redirect to [myapp.com/mydomain.com/params]. Can I do this using only DNS settings? I'm guessing that is not possible, so would it be a better solution to direct mydomain1.com, mydomain2.com, mydomain3.com, etc. to one IP address then use Mod_Rewri...

If the zone does not exist, the script adds it according to specs. If it does exist, and it is a secondary zone, the script deletes and recreates it according to s...

Hey all. I have written a program that sequentially scans certain parts of a LAN for computers (code will be provided). However, when I run this code, it only returns the DNS HostName of the computer it is running on. I looked into using WMI, but I cannot, as I will not always have priveleges to the computers being found. Is there any ot...
To replace a legacy web site, a client has pointed their DNS at my server where a new version of the website exists. However they still serve http://support.example.com from their own server. I have noticed that non-www requests, e.g. http://example.com still point to their own server, therefore show the old web site. How can I point...
