We can set up Anycast with the OVH server using the steps given in this article. Bobcares, as a part of our Server Management Service offers solutions to every query that comes our way.

Anycast with OVH Servers

Incoming DNS requests are routed to the closest or fastest-responding DNS servers thanks to the anycast DNS technology, which enables several DNS servers to share a single IP address. This also enhances the performance, redundancy, and availability of DNS services. As a web host, OVH provides its clients with Anycast DNS services.

Anycast with OVH Servers: Setup Steps

Here is a broad description of how to set up Anycast DNS with OVH servers:

1. Firstly, check OVH’s availability before purchasing Anycast DNS service. We’ll probably need to sign up for this service if they do. For precise directions and costs, it is advisable to contact their support or documentation.

2. Then, we must create our own DNS records through the OVH control panel after we have access to the Anycast DNS service. This entails adding records for the domain and subdomains, such as A (IPv4 addresses) and AAAA (IPv6 addresses).

3. We should also receive a list of Anycast IP numbers from OVH. These are the IP addresses that several DNS servers will share. Create a pointer for these Anycast IP addresses in the DNS entries.

4. Now, we’ll need multiple DNS servers spread across various regions. DNS requests for the domain will receive a response from these servers. Set up these servers so that they provide DNS records for us and react to requests.

5. The identical Anycast IP addresses should be set up on each DNS server. Whenever a request is made, the network routing routes it to the nearest DNS server that has the same Anycast IP.

6. Query the DNS records for the domain from several locations in order to check the setup. Also, verify the consistency of the DNS replies and the availability of the nearest server. The Anycast DNS setup’s performance and availability can be ensured with the aid of monitoring tools.

7. Regularly maintain and update the DNS servers to make sure they are current with the most recent DNS records. Use any administrative tools that OVH offers to make this procedure easier.
