Traffic from your local machines (i.e. machines where you've put your servers' IP addresses in the TCP/IP settings) will either be directed to the first address listed (if the client is Windows or classic Mac OS) or to whichever server responds faster (*nix-type operating systems, including Mac OS X). Traffic from other DNS servers will either be directed to the first server listed in the gTLD servers (MS DNS), a random choice (djbdns), or whichever server responds faster (BIND, QuickDNS Server). ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 9:35 AM -0700 8/15/02, Jeff Logan wrote: >I just set up my secondary DNS server and now all DNS traffic is >going to it only about 1% is going to the primary.
