Implementations relate to systems and methods for configuring a probe server network using a reliability model. A company, customer, or organization may wish to outsource the management of a set of name servers used to operate a domain name, such as a domain name associated with a Web site. In aspects, that deployment of name servers can be monitored by a separate set of failover or probe servers which are configured to track the uptime, operability, and performance of the underlying name servers, which can number in the thousands. An administrator or other user may wish to determine a minimum number of probe servers to apply to the name server topology, to achieve desired service levels. According to aspects, automated tools and logic are provided which model and simulate the overall network including the number and arrangement of necessary probe servers to ensure performance, failover reliability, and other factors. |

1. A method of managing a network, comprising:
accessing a network topology map for a network comprising a set of probe servers, a set of name servers, and a set of connections between the set of probe servers and the set of name servers; accessing a set of reliability data for the network; generating a network model for the network based on the network topology and the set of reliability data; and identifying, based on the network model, a minimum number of probe servers for use in the set of probe servers required to support a target service level to monitor the set of name servers. |
