[help]need a dns server which has "Load Balance" feature

maccn · 06-03-2003, 05:31 AM

Our company is going to Xserv.

On os9, we're using QuickDNS 3 which has the "Load Balance" feature. But it seems that the QuickDNS for OSX version doesn't have the funtion(maybe becuase it bases on "bind"?)

Anybody know a dns software which has the "Load Balance" feature for OSX?

Really grateful for your reply

by load balancing do you mean round-robin dns?

Any DNS should be able to do that... basically you set multiple IP addresses to one hostname. The server will then send out a different address each time a request is made.
