Bind 9 answer limit question
This isn't really FreeBSD specific, but I'm running Bind on FreeBSD, so it qualifies. ;) Can you limit the number of responses bind will give for a round-robin A record? Microsoft DNS allows you to do this with a AddressAnswerLimit registry change. The idea being you may have 16 ips in a round-robin, but in order to keep the packet size w/in spec, you only want to return 8 of them. Thanks!

It can't be FreeBSD, there isn't a version 8 or 9. And, it can't be Bind, I'm looking right at the subject line of Brent's e-mail and yours, and reading, Bind 9 answer limit question so, it can't be that. I'm wondering if your e-mail client, for some reason, doesn't show the subject line, in which case, you wouldn't know that Brent, who did sign his post, by the way, was referring to Bind9. Since my e-mail client does show the subject line, I can tell you that he's referring to Bind9. I have an idea. Why don't you tell him how it's done with djbdns? Or at the very least, give him a rousing RTFM. Holy cow! I just spotted another post from Brent, concerning a perl upgrade. You didn't discourage him. You must have helped him after all. Congratulations Eric, on a job well done. You are being promoted, according to the Peter Principal, to a higher level, where you may dwell in peace on thoughts of helping even more people.

Donald, I missed the 9 in the body of the post. And rrset_order isn't something I've ever used, so please provide an answer. Eric ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Either I missed it, or its not there. I did see other things that reference round-robins, but not this. While I'm not completely opposed to switching to djbdns, I'd prefer sticking to Bind if it can be done w/o hacking any code up.

I'm going to have to demote you down the ladder. The only thing I'm willing to admit to: it's very hot and humid here in southern Wisconsin and that sometimes makes me a bit playful at someone's expense, if I see the opportunity, sometimes I will take that opportunity and run with it a bit, just to see what happens. If I can't take it, I shouldn't dish it out. Your response to me was very civil, probably more so than mine to you warranted. I can't provide an answer to Brent's question either. Besides which, I don't want to work with Bind, I would rather work with djbdns and to do that I'd have to invest in a couple more computers. Please feel free to e-mail me privately. It's ok for people to think I'm very smart, but I kind of like to keep the total idiot part hidden from public view.

Right. rrset-order defines the order in which multiple records of the same type are returned, which wasn't quite the question asked (number limit). In the 9.3.x release note mentions that this (rrset-order) is implemented, somewhere else there was a note that in the 8.x code this was implemented, and in the 9 (presumably 9.2.x code) this wasn't. I'm modestly interested in the use case, never having used the MS dns implementation (or Dan's either), and I expect I'll survive the sarcasm.
