Using more than one IP in DNS Cloudflare?

I have a question: What happens if I put 2 IPs on a specific path to a domain in the DNS of Clafflare

Example :

type : A name : www ip : ip1

type : A name : www ip : ip2

INFO: The two servers contain the same content, files and everything

Solution

  • What do you want to do is called "Round-robin DNS", this setup will work and allow you to split traffic between two servers.

    From Cloudflare documentation:

    To randomly distribute traffic across multiple servers, set up multiple DNS A or AAAA records for the same hostname.

    Use this setup for simple, round-robin load balancing. If you need more fine-grained control over traffic distribution — including automatic failover, intelligent routing, and more — set up our add-on load balancing service.
