DNS cluster on servers already hosting websites

Hi there,

I have 5 webservers and i want to use 2 of then to host all my dns's. Problem is, all those servers are already being used by clients and i cannot afford 2 extra servers(or 2 vps's). The question is... Is it possible to create the cluster pointing to 2 of my servers? How's that gonna work?

Here's what i want to do:
-------------------------
server 1 - NS1
server 2 - NS2
server 3 - dnss points to server 1 and 2
server 4 - dnss points to server 1 and 2
server 5 - dnss points to server 1 and 2
-------------------------

But what should i do with the clients already hosted on server 1 and 2? Can i point those servers to each other? Will it work? Thanks!

 

Hi garrettp thanks for your response,

That'll work, But the problem is that ns1 won't respond for the websites hosted on server2, and ns2 won't respond for websites hosted on server1. They will work, but maybe i'll have some problems with only one NS working for those servers.

Do you think i'll have a problem if i point server2 to NS1 and server1 to NS2? Thanks

 

Thanks guys! I'll try to setup openvz on 2 of my servers, if i have any trouble i'll just stick to the usual way and cross link like garrettp said.
