jetbbs.com IS NOT franklin.jetbbs.com

you don't have to set up "round robin" and you can't decide who connects to
which IP.

If you set up two IP addresses for one DNS name, random servers will connect
to random addresses in rantom times.

that is because jetbbs.com only contains 104.238.117.105 now...

once more: jetbbs.com IS NOT franklin.jetbbs.com !

FYI currently they both only contain 104.238.117.105
