Take a look there, pretty much covers every scenario, I just did a multi-node with ITL only for the same reasons as you and it worked like a charm.

Rebuild definitely not necessary.

Subject: [cisco-voip] Question about enabling DNS on CUCM cluster(s)

Good morning!

Was hoping someone with a little more experience on the jabber/collab edge side could point me in the right direction here.

I have 2 CUCM clusters that I am researching configuring jabber and/or collab edge for. Up till now I've never had a need for DNS resolution on the either. One of them has been operational since version 3 dot something and back then it seemed the recommendation to stay away from DNS in general on CUCM unless there was a good reason otherwise.

I see there are just a few commands to enable it and setup servers etc - are there any gotchas with database replication or security that I need to be aware of? I don't plan on changing the hostname of the servers themselves or their IP addresses.

The old cluster has CTLs/USB tokens. The "slightly" newer cluster is just running in security-by-default mode. Both clusters are @ version 9.1.

My research thus far seems to say turning DNS up on earlier versions of CUCM required rebuilds but seems to not be the case now, but I haven't turned up anything in the official docs. I have a TAC case open to ask about it but I'm still at the explain DNS and what my business case is stage ;)

Appreciate any tips!

Thanks,
Ed
