Here is the situation… I have 2 servers …. Server1 & Server2 they are in a cluster called MY_CLUSTER.
Server1 has 2 NIC Cards :
-
192.168.1.1 (Private)
-
10.0.0.1
Server2 has 2 nic cards as well:
-
192.168.1.2 (Private)
-
10.0.0.2
Now for server (cluster) communication I want these servers to use the 192.168.1.* (Private) address, for LAN clients I want the users to connect using 10.0.0.* address.
Physically there is a crossover network cable connected from Server1 to Server2 on the 192.168.1.* network cards and there is one connection document from server1 to server2 with the correct 192.168.1.2 (Private) destination address
Within the server document the Fully Qualified host names fields are set properly. On the Port tab >> Notes Network Ports, I have 2 entries on each server.
Server1 has the following enteries:
Port: TCPIP
Protocol: TCP
Notes Network: NY_Notes
IP: 10.0.0.1
Enabled: Yes
Port: TCP2
Protocol: TCP
Notes Network: Cluster_NY
IP: 192.168.1.1
Enabled: Yes
Server2 has the following enteries:
Port: TCPIP
Protocol: TCP
Notes Network: NY_Notes
IP: 10.0.0.2
Enabled: Yes
Port: TCP2
Protocol: TCP
Notes Network: Cluster_NY
IP: 192.168.1.2
Enabled: Yes
When I ping server1 or server2 I get the proper 10.0.0.* address.
Thanks for reading so far…
here is the problem…
When a client tries to connect to Server2, you can see that it tries to get the IP address from Server1, however, the attempt only returns an IP address of 192.168.1.2 which is the private address and stops, failing to connect. When the Server1 is not available for any reason, IP address of Server2 is resolved using DNS and it connects without a problem.
How can I make sure that users are able to reach Server2 while Server1 is up and running?
Thank you for your help
