Re: [plug] DJBDNS dnscache does not round robin!

[Mark M. Barrios]

i think what he means is that dnscache returns _all_ the A records in the same order every time it gets cached...
unlike bind which returns _all_ A records but in a different order each time it is looked up

clients usualy pick the first record returned hence the roundrobin effect

Hello djb geeks (ikaw ito dek!) \8)

I just found out that dnscache does not round robin
DNS requests when a
name has more than one A record attached to it. Why? This totally breaks
compatibility with bind..

because it returns _all_ the A records :)

here's a thread that discusses that, http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=104483126300004&r=1&w=2

Anyway looking for a patch (there was one i saw) the
one i got failed to
apply on 1.0.5. Does anyone know of a working patch
to solve this
problem?

the patch works, tried it here so what was the
error in your end ?
