Currently we have about 30 machines that connect to our site over (2) 10Mbps lines.
I'm looking into getting a 3rd line but that is another issue.
Right now, all the clients connect to us strictly by IP address. We've had some issues in the past where our IP had to change and I want to never be caught in that situation again.
SO.. I want to try and move the sites to instead connect to us through a DNS subdomain IE wan1.company.com , wan2.company.com
The only issue I have is, I am worried that introducing a DNS scheme like this will add latency to the connection (some sites are oversees and this would be unacceptable)
Along with, what if the company, lets say godaddy, that is handling our DNS goes down or somehow becomes unresponsive. Are clients no longer able to connect?
