Put the IP address in multiple times. Eg, you want traffic to go to
the first Ip 3 of 4 times. Have a four record RRset. Put the first Ip
in this RRset three times and the second IP in once. Eg:
host IN A 1.2.3.4
IN A 1.2.3.4
IN A 1.2.3.4
IN A 1.2.3.5
Or put a load balancer in front of the two IP addresses that divies the
traffic up in a 3:1 ratio. (But this is not in accordance with the BIND
discussion charter.)
See the BIND-USERS archives for more info.
