Question
Is it possible to link more than one child node to a Standard WHM server?
Answer
Yes, you may link multilple child nodes to a parent Standard WHM server. For example:
WHM Parent
/\_____________________ Child-Mail-Node
/\_____________________ Child-DNS-Node
/\_____________________ Child-Database-Node
You may also link multiple child nodes that handle the same functionality ( mail / dns / database) to a parent Standard WHM server. For Example:
WHM Parent
/\_____________________ Child-Mail-Node-#1
/\_____________________ Child-Mail-Node-#2
/\_____________________ Child-DNS-Node-#1
/\_____________________ Child-DNS-Node-#2
/\_____________________ Child-Database-Node-#1
/\_____________________ Child-Database-Node-#2
However, it is critical to note that two nodes that handle the same functionality cannot be assigned to the same cPanel account on the parent WHM server.
The following example where both Child-Mail-Node-#1 and Child-Mail-Node-#2 are both assigned to cpaneluser1 which is NOT supported:
-----------------------------------------------
| WHM Parent |
| cpaneluser1 | cpaneluser2 | cpaneluser3 |
-----------------------------------------------
____/\_______________/\______________________________ Child-Mail-Node-#1
____/\_____________________________________________ Child-Mail-Node-#1
The following example where each mail node is assigned to a unique set of users. This setup IS supported:
----------------------------------------------
| WHM Parent |
| cpaneluser1 | cpaneluser2 | cpaneluser3 |
----------------------------------------------
____/\____________/\____________________________ Child-Mail-Node-#1
_________________________________/\_____________ Child-Mail-Node-#2
