DNS in Lync Server 2010


Correct configuration of DNS is key to a usable and stable Lync deployment.

  • To discover internal servers or pools for server-to-server communications.
  • To allow clients to discover the Front End pool or Standard Edition server used for various SIP transactions.
  • To allow unified communications (UC) devices that are not logged on to discover the Front End pool or Standard Edition server running Device Update Web Service, obtain updates, and send logs.
  • To allow Ext servers and clients to connect to Edge Servers or the HTTP reverse proxy for instant messaging (IM) or conferencing.
  • To allow Ext UC devices to connect to Device Update Web service through Edge Servers or the HTTP reverse proxy and obtain updates.

 
Standard Edition Server

  • An Internal A record that resolves the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server to its IP address.
Enterprise Edition Pool (with DNS Load Balancing)

  • A set of Internal A records that resolve the FQDN of the pool to the IP address of each server in the pool. There must one A record for each server in the pool.
  • An A record that lists all the deployed Front End Servers
  • An A record (separate to the pool record) that points to the VIP of the hardware load balancer, this is used for the pool's Web Services
Enterprise Edition Pool (with Hardware Load Balancing)

  • An Internal A record that resolves the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Front End pool to the virtual IP (VIP) address of the load balancer.
DNS Records for Automatic client sign-in

  • _sipInternaltls._tcp.<domain>    e.g. An SRV record for _sipInternaltls._tcp.contoso.com domain over port 5061 that maps to pool01.contoso.com
Device Update Web service discovery by (UC) devices

  • An Internal A record with the name ucupdates-r2.<SIP domain> that resolves to the IP address of the Front End pool (or Standard Edition Service) that hosts the Device Update Web service.
DNS records for Simple URLs
