Request Redirect

Since "views" require parallel maintenance of zone data, they are 
somewhat of a heavyweight/sledgehammer approach to the problem.

Subject to certain caveats, the "sortlist" feature may be a better fit 
for this requirement, i.e. define the name with *both* IP addresses, and 
then sort the answers depending on the source address range of the 
querying client.

Caveats:
1) All caching resolvers need to have the same sortlist capability and 
synchronized definitions -or- they must at all times exactly preserve 
the order of the responses they received from upstream, even when 
answering from their own cache
2) If #1 cannot be met, then the client must be able to tolerate an 
occasional "wrong" answer, resulting, typically, in a connection attempt 
to the "wrong" resource, and potentially a timeout/failover to the other 
address. The extent of the "wrongness" can be mitigated by lowering the 
TTL values on the RRset, but then this increases query traffic, so it's 
a tradeoff.
