Hi
I need to apply backup procedure for OWA. We have multiple routers connected to a firewall connected to exchange. A the moment I have 1 A record for webmail.domain.com that points to one of the routers and the firewall port forwards the request to exchange.
Problem is, if that router goes down, then users cannot access webmail
What is the best way of configuring so if router 1 is down then trip over to router 2.
I thought it was just a case of creating a second A record for webmail.domain.com to point to router 2. But haven't done this before, not sure if it works in the same way as MX records by preference, I,e if IP 1 doesn’t respond try IP 2
PLease help
