Hi Team, We are setting up a new environment which is going to span three different datacenter locations in three different countries, New Zealand, Australia and Canada. This will be a very small install initially running on standard licensing. NZ will hold our vCenter appliance with integrated PSC and this will control clusters in Australia and Canada. I have a few questions though on best practice and I'm finding it difficult to source the information i want, I was wondering if anyone could help me with the following? What is best practice with DNS and vSphere? Let's say our AD domain name is domain1.com. Should I setup new forward and reverse zones in our DNS, something like vsphere.local, so my first host would be something like esx1.vsphere.local? Or would I be aiming for something like esx1.domain1.com? I was also thinking about using vsphere.local for my SSO domain name too, can I do this? Or do I have to have a separate SSO domain name? So I use my SSO domain as vsphere.local and then I setup vsphere.local in DNS and name all my hosts as above? I hope that makes sense.
