<div><br></div><div>With stock DNS, no; all you can do is recommend by ordering the responses. But there are solutions. There are load-balancing DNS servers (they have a pool of responses, and hand out an answer of that pool, based on rules, and can even remove an answer from the pool if a watchdog/monitor fails). F5 GTM and Cisco GSS are examples, but you need to talk with the vendor or a VAR to help you to understand some of the nuances and complexities of doing this way. </div>

Is there a good way of running the current BIND (9.7 and later) for load balancing a special record?<br>
for example,<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank">www.example.com</a> IN A 192.168.1.1<br>
<a href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank">www.example.com</a> IN A 192.168.1.2<br>

With DNS you can only hint clients to send their requests by sorting provided RRs in particular order. You can not be sure that they will preserve the order and that they will send their requests to different servers. In fact, most of clients take first server and will communicate with it.<div class="im">

I know other 4 or 7 layer software (like LVS and Nginx) can do that, but also want to know if BIND supports this.<br>
