Hi All,
Can any of you tell me if the following is possible. I have a
requirement to load balance 2 outgoing mail servers. At the moment I have
post.domain.com IN A 192.168.0.1
IN A 192.168.0.2
and this work fine with both getting equal mail. However what would be
nice is if I could get 192.168.0.1 to handle more of the requests due to
it being a bigger box. I know that I can't actually say one has a higher
priority in the zone file (like MX records) but is their a way of getting
bind to favour one over the other so that for say every 2/3 request it
answers .1 I am aware that should .1 die then there will be issues but I
can get round that myself...
TIA
Rus
