Hi everyone...
I am rather new to the world of DNS so I'm hoping to get some of your
expertise...
Is there a way to make BIND respond DNS query in sequence? For
example, if I assign 2 IP addresses to an A record, is it possible to
have it respond like...
Client 1 for www.example.com -> 192.168.1.1
Client 2 for www.example.com -> 192.168.1.2
Client 3 for www.example.com -> 192.168.1.3
...and so on.
I know companies use load balancer for this function, but my customer
in this case don't really want to make additional investment :P
Option A: round-robin+sortlist
Option B: views
Appropriate caveats for each approach.
Note that if these are Windows clients on the same subnets as the
www.example.com addresses, you could probably just get away with a plain
old round-robin and rely on the built-in Windows "subnet
prioritization", see
