I was happy user of QDNS 3.5 and loved the load balancing feature. Since I have abandoned OS 9, I have not been able to duplicate this feature. Then I found zoneedit. It is a web administerable dns service that is fantastic, and has a failover feature that is similar to the load balancing feature of QDNS 3.5 except that you cannot designate a percentage of hits to go to a particular ip address. In my case of managing all of the DNS for my clients, I have found zoneedit to be as affordable as maintaining the software and the hardware necessary.

Alas, no.

They (menandmice.com) ported Bind to MacOS. They built a little Mac
application specifically for load balancing that talks to the DNS
servers. You run the load balancer app on each web server.

Unfortunately, the newer versions of QuickDNS (after 3.5) abandoned this
feature and dropped back to round-robin.

Is there a Windows equivalent for this?

Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: DNS Round Robin Load Balancing with WiTango


I use the QuickDNS load balancer on MacOS9 without trouble. It's better
than round robin, as you can set the load percentage on each server in a
"load balancing record" and when a server doesn't respond, it's removed
from the load balancing set.

Has anyone used DNS Round Robin as a technique to load balance several
WiTango servers? If so, were there any problems?
