Gurus,
We have a TIS BSD box running 4.9.3-P1. I found this kluge and wonder if this
is workable in 8.2. There's a server farm of 10 servers distributed
geographically, they all answer to www.jelly.com. They used Cisco Distributed
Director (CDD) which figures out which of the servers are alive and return the
closest IP to the querry source based on shortest route and trip time. The
kluge is in the zone file, which seems to delegate the *host* www.jelly.com
to the CDD ( I have only seen delegation of a zone, not a single host but I don't see why it shouldn't work.)
www.jelly.com. IN NS CDD.jelly.com.
cdd.jelly.com. IN A 1.2.3.4
I have not seen this before, is it legal? and workable in BIND 8.2? If not,
can I mimic this dynamic load balancing within BIND somehow?
QCT
