Currently, I have several dedicated servers at Ventures Online. I decided to take Dedicated Now up on their special for an additional server.
It was mentioned to me that setting up a trust relationship between the servers was not recommended. I've had a couple of people mention this, but nobody was clear as to why (they too had heard that it wasn't recommended).
Could somebody explain why a Trust relationship between servers is a bad thing?
If I were to establish a trust relationship, wouldn't my users be able to use the same nameservers:
dns.mydomain.com and
dns2.mydomain.com
Should I not set it up this way?
If I don't set it up that way, wouldn't my users have to use different nameservers for each server?
Server 1:
dns.mydomain.com
dns2.mydomain.com
Server 2:
dns3.mydomain.com
dns4.mydomain.com
Server 3:
dns5.mydomain.com
dns6.mydomain.com
I'm also trying to determine one other thing.
Lets say my server at VO is named 'server1.mydomain.com'
My server at Dedicated Now is 'server2.mydomain.com'
Is there anything I need to modify on the DNS on server 1 so that the 'server2.mydomain.com' points to the second server and doesn't act like a sub-domain on server1 (hope that makes sense).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated
