I have a three-node Windows Server 2016 failover cluster running a bunch of VMs, a DHCP server, and a file server, and it's all working quite nicely. I'm a university department sysadmin, these devices are on the university-wide AD, and I'm using split-brain DNS with my own in-house DNS servers, so anything in my department is actually name.dept.example.edu.
Here's my problem:
In accordance with best practices and at the behest of the central IT group, my cluster file server name is dept-fs.dept.example.edu, and sure enough, \\dept-fs.dept.example.edu works like a charm.
I'd like to ALSO allow users to access the server at \\fs.dept.example.edu. I've already had this A-record created on the university's campus-wide BIND DNS servers, and I also created this A-record on my in-house DNS servers.
If I go to \\fs.dept.example.edu, I get not the file server as intended, but I instead get the bare-metal node that happens to be hosting the file server at the moment; this is proven by going to \\fs.dept.example.edu\c$.
So: how do I get what I'm looking for?
Thanks!
