how to config cluster with 2 servers

HI,
I have create a cluster with 2 servers, each server have 2 network cards, 2 ip address, one IP address is for heardbeat and the other is for external access.
server1 external Ip address is 10.1.1.1
server2 external IP address is 10.1.1.2
now I want to open config manager to add a cluster and add 2 server,
my question is :
do I need to add a new cluster name(such as server_cluster) in DNS with new IP address such as 10.1.1.3?
when adding server to cluster, do I need to add 2 DNS record, one is cluster name mapping server1 external Ip address and the other is cluseter name mapping server2 external IP address.
my config should be :

server_cluster
----server1
---cms
----server2
----cms
---indexter

is it right?

could you give me any suggesiton?
thanks!

Add an A dns record for server1 (to 10.1.1.1) and server2 (10.1.1.2). Then add two dns A records from server_cluster to each IP address.

For BIND, the entries could be

; zone fragment for example.com
$TTL 2d ; zone default = 2 days or 172800 seconds
$ORIGIN example.com.
...
server1 IN A 10.1.1.1
server2 IN A 10.1.1.2
server_cluster IN A 10.1.1.1
server_cluster IN A 10.1.1.2

For djbdns (tinydns) data file, the entries could be

=server1.example.com:10.1.1.1:86400
=server2.example.com:10.1.1.2:86400
+server_cluster.example.com:10.1.1.1:86400
+server_cluster.example.com:10.1.1.2:86400

For other DNS servers, please contact your IT admin
