Re: Disaster Recovery test - DNS resolution question

[Chris Whisonant <Chris.Whisonant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What if you configured the DR site as a cluster server? Is it a live site 
that you could continuously replicate to? Notes would know to look for 
that failover site. However, if you can't resolve the FQDN to that other 
site, it sounds like you may have more than a Notes issue.

Are you able to resolve the DR site from the Windows Ping command?
