does sortlist really work?  i tried it, and named is still returning 
multiple records round robin, without preference, it seems.

when i ping from 192.168.1.9 to "tlp", and if "tlp" has records for both 
192.168.1.3 and 192.168.0.3, i expect sortlist, as documented, to mean i 
should get 192.168.1.3, always, right?  but i get either, in round robin.

what i want is to return the address closest to the requestor.  is sortlist 
the best way to do this?

in my named.conf, as per the manpage (redhat 7.2):
options {...
    sortlist { { localhost; localnets; };
               { localnets; };
    };
};

and in our zone file i have:  ...
tlp_fw IN A 192.168.1.3
tlp     IN A 192.168.1.3
tlp_lan IN A 192.168.0.3
tlp     IN A 192.168.0.3

i pledge allegiance to the earth
and all that lives upon her
and the delicate balance in which it all stands
one planet
alive with spirit
in full harmony
with deep respect for all
