load balance Sub Domain, GTM, and Exchange 2013
Hey Folks,
I'm a noob when it comes to NS management, and was hoping y'all could help clear the air on a few assumptions. I'd like to load balance our external published eas.domain.com to two GTM's that are in different DC's. The NS server managing eas.domain.com is run by another team including their own NS.
Per the article below it appears I can still accomplish load balancing (active\active) if I convert eas.domain.com to a CName which resolves to the subdomain eas.gtm.domain.com that my GTM servers would be authoritative over. Ok that's the extent of what I understand is required. What I'm not clear about is what's actually involved\created on my NS teams side to make this happen.
Questions:
- Is an A record created for the subdomain eas.gmt.domain.com and if so what IP is that resolving too (one of the two GTM servers?).
- Article mentions create an A record for the two GTM's, which I'm assuming will be gtm1.eas.domain.com and gtm2.eas.domain.com or gtm1.gtm.eas.domain.com and gtm2.gtm.eas.domina.com?
Trying to wrap my head around how is the client (aka mobile device) aware\presented with both GTM's for load balancing? I appreciate if some one can outline with a few details for my better understanding of this process.
