I have two Additional polling engines in two different subnet. AS per solarwind recommendation there need to create a DNS host entry script.
Can anyone help on Creating such DNS host entry update script ?

What's the DNS solution you use?
If it's Microsoft or a BIND based solution you could use the native functionality. https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/ha_set_up_ha_pools.htm
But what you're using for DNS will certainly determine if you even need to script it. If you really do though, then you can take a look at the link below where it talks about the canned alert "Update High Availability Active Member DNS Record on AWS Route53 When Failover Occurs" - this can be used as a base to get you started.
Here's an example script I've previously used to update an Infoblox record for HA at the time when we couldn't use TSIG. No idea if it's close to what your needs are, but perhaps to get your mind jogging on the subject.

Ultimately though - you would need to create the script (if you DO require one... it's a last resort) as it's going to be unique to your environment.
Good luck
You'd have to be a lot more specific than "other" dns, and would probably get your best results by asking for script help at a forum for whatever DNS solution you use.
And yes, in multi subnet situations the failover requires that the DNS entry is updated to route to the server that is currently active. Also the failover will not really be successful until that DNS update has propagated throughout your environment. How long that takes depends on how your DNS is architected.
