DNS Records for NLB Cluster

The first thing to do is to add a static DNS record for our future cluster proxy.nlb.lan with IP address 192.168.4.110 on our domain controller machine as shown on the following screenshots.

Create DNS A Record

Create DNS PTR Record

To verify the DNS settings were set correctly use the following command on any proxy client machine (where we will later run the browsers from). The output of nslookup command shall indicate correct IP address for the cluster DNS name.

C:\Users\Administrator.NLB>nslookup proxy.nlb.lan
Server:  dc1.nlb.lan
Address:  192.168.4.100

Name:    proxy.nlb.lan
Address:  192.168.4.110
