I was wondering what people use for DNS failover. In particular, if one has
multiple A records for the same name to different IP addresses (for certain
cluster configurations), what are some good solutions for detecting down
nodes in the cluster and "disabling" those A records in DNS.

I know "out of the box" DNS solutions found in Solaris and HP-UX, etc, don't
offer this functionality, but how about QIP? Or a hardware solution, such as
an F5 or Arrowpoint?

Thans,
