DNS and DHCP
DHCP hands out IP addresses to clients and is essential for connecting to the internet. Because DHCP are so important we will configure for fault tolerance and load balancing. The DHCP scope design will involve 2 DHCP servers at the Pensacola site and 1 DHCP server at the Casper site. All of the DHCP servers will be put into failover load balance mode. All of the DCHP servers will be configured in load balance mode. With this set up if one server fails the other will take over. If they are all working properly then they will share the load balance. A scope with the address range of 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.110 will be created.
DHCP reservations will be used for all servers within both sites so they will get the same IP address every time. This will speed up the response time from the server and make sure that users will not have any issues finding the servers. The lease times will be in the default 8 day increments to ensure that there will be plenty of IP addresses available at all times. Using a private domain, the DNS name space design will include pa.con.localhost as the parent and ca.con.localhost as the child. Split DNS will be set up with two different scopes. One for the internal DNS records and one for the external DNS records. These scopes will be hosted on the same DNS server. This will keep the information on the internal DNS server secure from issues such as foot printing. To set up these scopes policies need to be created and implemented so each
