To: Will <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on a mailing list. *sigh* As others have said, if a name has a CNAME record, it may have no others [with a few DNSSEC exceptions]. DNS is not the right way to do round robin, anyway. The user's caching resolving name server will serve out the names how it wants, not how you want [not necessarily, anyway]. Use a Squid proxy or an F5 BigIP or something like that. -- Joe Yao Qinetiq NA / Analex Contractor
