No wonder the list is slow if everyone send a confirmation that it is slow ;-)

I suspect that ISC is working on it and after all it is only a  
imbalance in the store-and-forward principle of e-mail.

It is still a bad idea.  Fixing the clients so they work well with

You don't have to have artifially low TTLs on the DNS responses.
You get sub-second failover on new connections.


Easy there fellow We run with a 15m TTL and we get no complaints 
from customers. Sure I am sure someone somewhere does get an error but 
they are not enough for people to email us and call us...


Prior to DNS racing we use to get that a lot of calls.. we had to do 
the fail over and balacing by telling them type in

mail2.mailme.hk.com

We do get more traffic on one ISP than the other as it has better 
peering, lower latency pipes, even though the circuit to them is slower 
on our side... Though I can tell when they are having problems as 
traffic volumes move to the other circuit automatically.



If you really want
to perform races then connect() races will reflect actual client
topology not resolver topology.
Yes the flaw has been pointed out, if the DNS resolvers are not on the 
same ISP/AS number the user will not be sent to the optimal path




   DNS Race doesn't work in a dual
stack environment as it is dependent on the record type and transport
matching.

As for Chrome.  It was a example of a application which does work
well with multi-homed servers.


Either someone sits down and re-write the archaic code in the resolver 
library client in kernels and builds most of the intelligence in bind OR 
all applications have to be re-written...


Or you can use DNS Racing.. My idea is good as I can do the changes 
on my side for the people that are not running duals stacks etc, 
they will expierence the same problems as


I need to polish up on bind and find out about the RR sorting. so that 
CHrome etc works better.


Thank you all for your feed back and criticism

Maren.

Yes, but the client would then re-sort the data, so it wouldn't achieve 
the original purpose. Sorting the data server side gives you essentially 
no control over which record the client will pick if they are calling 
getaddrinfo, as is likely.


As Mark has already pointed out, the approach is not intrinsically 
DNSSEC-hostile. It's perfectly legitimate to serve different data with 
different, valid, signatures. This is what happens with signature regen 
and key rollover. In this case, it would just be a permanent case of 
rollover - one KSK, one ZSK per dns server and different copies of the 
zone.


I withhold judgement on whether it's a good approach in general. I 
suspect it's just GSLB-lite personally.
