Hi Angus,

maybe, I'm reading up ...

poking around the manual, are you alluding to the "sortlist" directive?

Yes, that's what I was referring to.

So the concern with returning an ordered RRset is that the set could be large:

Okay.

I assume that's opposed to returning small distinct / unique RR sets with per client granularity.

The intention is that each private site/network will have its own DNS server pair and that local recursors resolve all private zones from that local pair. So things like NS records would be in scope for the ordered RRset response. With more sites come more DNS pairs and therefore more NS records to be added to the RRset. Maybe I can limit a RRset response to the first X number of entries?

Hum.

With this description in mind, I'd be tempted to do something with the anycast methodology that was recently discussed. Return one small RRset that references the fixed set of any cast NS IPs. Then routing at each site will get clients to the local instance of those anycasted IPs.

This would probably scale a lot better.

Thanks

:-)
