DNS records for additional local IP addresses

COMPONENT NAME

• DNS

CLOUDSTACK VERSION

CONFIGURATION

• for customer isolated network

OS / ENVIRONMENT

SUMMARY

For adaptive computing it's important to get use of additional application local IP addresses which you can move between machines in case of a failure of one of the virtual machines or for upgrades.

I can attach an additional IP to a VM using ACS. But I cannot give that a separate name which does not belong to the actual hostname of the VM.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

EXPECTED RESULTS

• possibility to add a DNS name for the additional local IP address
• possibility to move an IP from one system to another (no delete and recreate - IP could be taken in the steps between)

ACTUAL RESULTS

• currently the additional IP resolves into the same name as the original IP which is the hostname

Notes: the feature is about VIP for an internal IP, inside the isolated network. A floating IP like feature for the internal guest network would suffice the requirement.
