(note: >>z.y.x.in-addr.arpa. correction from previous typo) Chris, Do you have any rough notes on load balancing. I know y'all are rewriting that portion of the guide, but I need some idiot-proof guidelines for setting up a qdns/w* set of servers for primary and secondary hosting. My goal is to make our systems as redundant as possible to avoid something that happened today: my primary ISP changed all of their IP addresses, but forgot to notify me of the change until after it happened. I've made the changes for my clients with the appropriate registrars -- but for the next 48 hours or so until they take effect, I'm screwed for serving. So, what I want is: use redundant name and http/mail servers, with the fast servers on at the colo site and my wimpy machines here on a dedicated dialup. I know that DNS isn't really designed to do what I want, but perhaps by setting the load characteristics someone mentioned to 9999 (primary) and 1 (pokie), I can achieve some possibility of having a backup system to cover my ass when the primary goes down. Thoughts, pointers, corrections? paul (the idiot you are trying to proof for...)
