Check out http://www.tenereillo.com/GSLBPageOfShame.htm

and

http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/docs/bind-load-bal.php

It goes into detail about some of the issues with using DNS as a
mechanism for load balancing and fail-over. There are solutions both GNU
and expensive(F5 3DNS & Radware WSD, etc) for doing it, but they may not
work as you would imagine. Some are based off BIND

Hi all,

Is it possible to use DNS/Bind for more than just round robin load=20
balance and let it detect if one over the servers is down?

Thanks,

Eddy
