Search Again: Re: Load Balance to set a primary and "backup" server. From: Tony Date: Saturday, May 5, 2001 Time: 4:36:08 pm I'd like to see an example also: I have a dns record named 'test.com' The load balance record name is 'www.test.com' I have 26 other domains named a.com through z.com Are you saying that the best way to balance all those domains is to have a cname set to www.test.com in each record?? eg a.com CNAME www.test.com b.com CNAME www.test.com c.com CNAME www.test.com d.com CNAME www.test.com etc That way will save me a lot of time.
