As for connecting to hosts that resolve to multiple A records - I presume as a means of load balancing via DNS round robin - I'm not quite sure this is natively supported in Twisted. I believe since all TCP connections are mediated via connectTCP hostnames are ultimately resolved via socket.gethostbyname. I think you really want the support provided by socket.gethostbyname_ex (http://docs.python.org/library/socket.html#socket.gethostbyname_ex). It's a good question though. I'm sure a core dev will come along and give a proper answer soon ;-) Cheers, Reza -- Reza Lotun mobile: +44 (0)7521 310 763 email: rlo...@gmail.com work: r...@tweetdeck.com twitter: @rlotun _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
