So the ttl is passed to wug by the dns during the lookup? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/12/04 04:14PM >>> I put together this KB article a few months ago...
http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/WG-20030613-DM02.htm Does it help? Is there a peculiarity of round robin not catered for in the article? As I recall, round robin uses TTL tweaks in order to achieve load balancing. And TTL is what the article is about. When you say "It appears however that WUG is "pinning" the first ip address after the first poll", are you sure that it is not switching to another IP at the end of the TTL? ie, did you wait long enough?

My thought was to monitor via ICMP initially and poll by hostname. My thinking was that the polling would mimic the results a client might have if they were pinging the hostname. Fist time they would hit the first ip or server in the pool, second poll they would hit the second ip and so on. It appears however that WUG is "pinning" the first ip address after the first poll. That ip is then listed in the IP section of the detail sheet for the object and is the only ip to show up in the log. Can someone explain why this would be and if you have monitored similar resources, how have you done so?
