Sort of. Not as well, though. The goal of the feature is to be able to change a routing name and cut over with no downtime. Steering can do this, if your DS is already Steering. But if you have an existing non-Steering DS, there's no way to. Having multiple routing names would let you change the FQDN on an existing standard DS without downtime. Steering also comes at a performance cost. It's an additional DNS and HTTP request. That's why we don't just make all DSes Steering. IMO this feature still has value. I don't think it's a priority for anyone at the moment. But I'd vote we still keep the Issue open, as a valuable feature we might want to add at some point. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
