Hi
I have a query on connecting RDP clients, e.g. thin clients, to an RDS server farm. I have 3 servers, two running the RDSH role, and 1 running all of the other roles, including gateway and rdweb. This works fine using RDweb to a published app or desktop with no issues.
What I am wondering is, what is the best way of connecting an RDP client to the RDSH servers? I have seen people just use round robin DNS, so create a DNS record e.g. rdsfarm.domain.com and create one record for each RDSH server IP address. Then just use that name to connect. This works, but I am wondering if there is a better way of doing it? With round robin, what happens when one server is down? Surely in that case DNS would still return the IP, and a client may try and connect to a server that was offline. I don't have a hardware load balancer.
Thanks
