Hey Gang, here’s what I did

Server1 has 2 network adapters
Server2 has 2 network adapters

Server1 has primary DNS
Server2 has sencondary DNS

all four adapters are pointing to their local (internal ip address for DNS)

The Primary Server has an in-addr.arpa for both the external (internet routable IPs) and also has an in-addr.arpa for the internal lan.

External DNS (hosted on a totally different network) points to the Server 1 and Server 2 External IPs
and internal users are using the internal DNS servers that have forward and backward lookups working for both servers.

Both servers are working great and Kerberos is also working

Thanks for the reply,

The ip the fails over is not the primary ip, i.e. the primary is 192.168.1.1 which is the ip of the master OD. The failover IP is only for the home folders.

you say “You’ll have to also manually create a home folder mount record for that URL,but that’s pretty easy to do.” how so? Can you give me an example?

I’ve got the failover.example.com entered into the home “FULL PATH” but I think I’m missing the part your talking about.

I’ve gone into the Server Admin of each server and Shared the Users directory which is located at /Volumes/XRaid1/Users, is that what your talking about? or do you mean a manually created home folder mount from the desktop mac point of view.

Cheers and thanks again for your response.
