The "ZooKeeper/FAQ" page has been changed by ChangSong. The comment on this change is: added a comment about a minor problem using DNS RR. http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ZooKeeper/FAQ?action=diff&rev1=14&rev2=15 -------------------------------------------------- * DNS round robin: this setup involves one hostname and a list of IPs. ZK clients correctly make used of a list of IPs returned by DNS query. Thus this setup works the same way as multiple hostname (IP) argument to zookeeper_init. The drawback is that when an ensemble cluster configuration changes like server addition/removal, it may take a while to propagate the DNS entry change in all DNS servers and DNS client caching (nscd for example) TTL issue. In conclusion, DNS RR works as good as a list of ensemble IP arguments except cluster reconfiguration case. + It turns out that there is a minor problem with DNS RR. If you are using a tool such as zktop.py, it does not take care of a list of host IP returned by a DNS server.
