Hello List, We use SRV records extensively (for internal service discovery, etc.).
When the patch was integrated to support a 0 weighted SRV records, I thought that would simplify our setup, because at the time, I thought 0 weight meant "backup server" without a "backup" flag on the server. Unfortunately for our simplicity, that is not the case. A 0 weight means "will never be used unless explicitly chosen". That leads me to my questions: - Is that the intended behaviors of 0 weight servers: to not function as a backup if all other servers are down? - Would you (Willy?) accept a patch that used the Priority field of SRV records to determine backup/non-backup status? Or perhaps an additional server option to specify 0 weighted SRV records means "backup"? Best, Luke — Luke Seelenbinder Stadia Maps | Founder stadiamaps.com
