RE: DNS round robin with NFS
I've never tried this but I assume it should be possible to use DNS to do basic round-robining. All you need to do is have 3 A records for the same hostname.

Why not look into LVS thats a good loadbalancing tool. HTH Brent Clark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
