It seems easiest to add multiple records with the same IP in order to simulate the weighting (i.e. 5 records, 2 with the same IP, that IP will get 40% of the traffic and the other two will get 60%). -- Meet New Orleans Startups in NY: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/meet-the-new-orleans-startups-happy-hour-in-nyc-...

Yes sir Wash,
Here is the scenario:
I have X number of SGSNs and Y number of GGSNs.
I would like to distribute a single APN from X number of SGSNs to Y number of GGSNs .
Am currently using DNS A records on round robin but I would like to achieve weighted traffic distribution since the GGSNs have different capabilities/capacities.
My best bet for now is DNS.
Tafadhali changia.

Alex, can you not achieve the same using other means? Why don't you say exactly what you want to do, instead of being abstract/vague about it? Some of us have grown bald doing these things. We could have clues;)

I said *weighted load balancing*. This is meant load balance different kind of traffic and not web applications.

Load balancing - aha - this is very well done on the webserver you are using - thats why you need not trouble the good old DNS protocol

Alex,
Whether Bind or Unbound, PDNS or djbdns, I believe the RFCs apply equally. So go right ahead and write a new RFC and submit it to the IETF Working Group dealing with DNS :) You can do patches to any of them, and submit for approval, thereby doing what Adam mentioned - "convincing the rest of the world to respect your rewrite :-P"
