	The way to do this in the DNS is to use SRV records.  If
	you are writing your own protocol this is the way to do
	it.

	If you are using a existing protocol that has not yet been
	made SRV aware then you need to use specialised nameservers.

	As always BIND is open source and you could do what other
	companies have done and modified named to do weighted load
	balancing.
