DFS namespace high availability

$

0

Hello,

I have two servers 2012 R2 :

- Server1 is an AD with DFS namespace & replication.

- Server2 is regular server in the domain (not a secondary domain controller) with DFS namespace/replication.

So my domain name is : example.priv, and my share : \\example.priv\SharedFolder .

Some shared folders are sync between both server.

I added Server2 in the namespace servers.

My goal is to have high avalaibility if my Server1 goes down, i still want to access to the share.


if i ping example.priv it returns Server1's IP.

When i stop the Server1, i cant have access to my share anymore, because example.priv resolves only to Server1.

I need example.priv to resolve to Server1 and Server2 (round robin?) 

How could i setup my environment to have access to my share when Server1 is down? 

Thank you,
