Round Robin DNS

I need to create a round robin DNS where a single hostname resolves to 3 different IP addresses by the DNS server. The actual reason is complicated to explain here but anyone who is familiar with Oracle RAC would know the concept of SCAN listener and the need for round robin DNS.

The SCAN listener (single client access name) is a listener which runs on any three nodes of an Oracle cluster and the IP addresses assigned to the SCAN listener are virtual and managed by Oracle clusterware, When a client tries to connect to the database via the SCAN listener, the round robin DNS would resolve the SCAN name (like clutest-scan) to one of the three IP addresses. The client connection would then be directed to the appropriate SCAN listener. So, if the SCAN name clutest-scan is assigned three IP addresses, say, 192.168.10.10, 192.168.10.11 and 192.168.10.12, nslookup clutest-scan would resolve to these IP addresses in a revolving manner.

Question is how can I do this in UTM9? In Windows DNS server, it is very easy but UTM9 does not allow me to create multiple records with same hostname resolving to different IP addresses. Is this a feature which is overlooked by Sophos in UTM?


Thanks,

Arun
