MX record ordering

[lawrence.a.kravets at us.arthurandersen.com]

Okay with everyone's help I can see what's happening

Here are the mx records

 mailhosts      IN   MX   10   server1.zone.com.
 mailhosts      IN   MX   10   server2.zone.com.
 mailhosts      IN   MX   20   server3.zone.com.
 mailhosts      IN   MX   30   server4.zone.com.


When I cycle through in an isolated test environment here's what I see...  Doing
an Nslookup looking for mx records...


Test 1

Server 1
Server 2
Server 3
Server 4


Test 2

Server 2
Server 3
Server 4
Server 1


Test 3

Server 3
Server 4
Server 1
Server 2


Test 4

Server 4
Server 1
Server 2
Server 3


See a pattern?  Because of weighting and position on the list, Server 1 will get
75% of the responses as opposed to Server 2's 25% .  What should happen is that
Server 1 and 2 should split 50/50.  But because of response list positioning  it
does not.  In Bind 9 how can I fix this?  And rrset-order is not yet
implemented.

Thanks,

Larry
