Question of questionable relevance to bind-users.

[Christopher Crowley]

The problem:

I use bind to round robin DNS a server ( rscluster.tulane.edu ) with four
nodes.  When a user attempts to SSH to this machine, the SSH client would
give them a warning that the server has changed in 3 out of 4 cases. (Even
if the host key is the same on all four machines -- I've tried it.)

My question is: Is it possible to return as additional information the node
name to a client requesting the IP of a Roundrobin'ed server? The idea is to
associate the IP address with a name other than rscluster. Thus, preventing
SSH from warning that the host identification has changed.

Also, if anyone on the list has dealt with an analogous issue, I am very
intersted in hearing your strategy for overcoming this problem. You may wish
to reply privately to spare the rest of the bind-users possibly irrelevant
mail.

Thank you in advance for your replies!
