It's Saturday a week later and I'm still struggling ... let's try an example: www.mldfamily.org is load balanced (99 to one server, and 1 to another server) -- soon to be 65535 and 1. www.ldbailey.com is hosted on the same two servers. What is the entry for the "load.balance.record.name" for www.ldbailey.com? Is it www.mldfamily.org? Does that cause the IP to be looked up but the query at that IP is actually made by the browser to www.ldbailey.com? Dean
