Hi all,

I am using remote-random to make 3 connections to 2 servers, in a RobotFramework test.

What I found out is, from the same machine the 3 clients always connect to the same servers.

To make it more clear, config:

remote-random
remote ServerA
remote ServerB


Client1 connects always to ServerA

Client2 connects always to ServerB

Client3 connect always to ServerA


Even if I change the order of remote ServerA/B the Clients will connect like described.

In my opinion this is not random, as I understand the term "random".


Hide both servers behind a round robin DNS entry will lead to all Clients are connected to Server A.

Use random RRDNS twice will lead to all Clients are connected to Server A.

Is it possible to shuffle all remote targets if remote-random is used? Right now the remote list seems to be sorted.

My tests are done on a debian buster without any "named" software/daemon installed.
