Hi,

Please could I have some advice about how the below example configuration would 
work:

forwarders { A.B.C.D; E.F.G.H; };

What I wanted to achieve is that one of the IP addresses to be used as a 
primary DNS server and the other IP address to be used as a secondary DNS 
server.

I have had differing results from testing that I have performed in my company 
and that of two other companies.

Company 1) - The result is that some DNS requests are sent to the first IP 
address and some are sent to the second IP address, even though both DNS 
servers are available.

Company 2) - The result is that DNS requests are sent to the first IP address 
and are only sent to the second IP address, if the first is down.

Company 3) - The result is that DNS requests are sent to the second IP address 
and are only sent to the first IP address, if the second is down.

Can anybody explain why there are differing results in different BIND 
environments please?

Also, if there is a way of configuring BIND to always work the way it's been 
observed for company 2), please could someone let me know.

Many thanks in advance.

Richard Thomas.
