Address Sorting NOT in V8

[craigjca at my-deja.com]

OK!  Looks like ACL's and Sortlists work, though why they do, I'm still
not sure of.

I added this to named.conf:

acl netA {
  123.456.0/22;
};
acl netB {
  123.456.4/22;
};
acl netC {
  123.456.8/22;
};

options {
sortlist {
   netA;
   netB;
   netC;
};
};

With this in place, any resolver request from netA gets back a netA
address for the desired multi-homed host, netB gets back a netB, and
netC gets back a netC address.

Thanks for the suggestion, Kevin.  Now, I have to dig into the docs so I
can explain why this works.  Does anyone know when a new O'Reilly DNS
book is coming out?
