Choosing A records based on hosts' load?

[Ondřej Surý]

There’s nothing magical needed here, you can write a script that would modify the zone directly (and do rndc reload) or use nsupdate to modify the record directly in the named.

Whether it’s good idea or not... I’ll let you experience the failure of making decisions on the wrong layer...

I'm wondering if there is an option for BIND9 to obtain those load parameters on a regular basis (let's say: every 10 minutes) and when queried for the A record return ONLY one IP address - the one of the server with the lowest utilization?
