Hi all?

is there some type of DNS record (W2K) can can resolve to several IP addresses?

Im working with HP iLO (remote server management hardware) which autheticate users via LDAP from a W2k Active Directory. The iLO asks for the "Directory server address" which is the ip address, or the dns name of the domain controller you want it to connect to in order to authenticate users.

The problem I see with this, is that if that server becomes unavailable, the iLO will not be able to authenticate users. I had thought of creating some type of DNS entry that could resolve to any of the Domain Server IP addresses and entering that in the "Directory Server" field in the iLO configuration.

Thanks in advance for the help!
Javi.
