Search Again: Best way to share multiple links to the net? From: Robert Woodhead Date: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 Time: 4:46:17 pm I currently have two links to the net in my office (wireless ISP and DSL), each with their own set of IP addresses. I want to configure the publically available servers so that, as much as possible, they share the two links. My idea is to assign an IP from each set to each server, so each server has two IP addresses it responds to (using IP multihoming that OT will do under OS 9, for example). The question is, how to configure DNS so that requests come in from both pipes. Something simple like 2 A records would apparently implement round-robin (so far, so good), but what happens when one of the pipes goes down? Are DNS clients smart enough to try both IPs? Or is there a better solution to this?
