Load Balancer for DNS

[Lightner, Jeff]

That answer seems to imply that when load is high enough on existing
caching servers the traffic will go to the others.   Is that the case?
At what point does this occur?

I would recommend that before adding "load balancers" that you consider
the problem that you are actually attempting to solve.

For the cost of a "load balancing solution" you might be able to deploy
more caching servers that would probably work better in the long run..
