SRV records would work for automatic redirection to another HTTP server, similar to how MX records work. But browsers don't support SRV records yet..

Hi Adam,

Nothing is impossible, even if it means rewriting bind or whichever DNS server.

I don't believe this is possible.  A records only support round robin.

This only makes sense for geographic redundancy though.  The load balancer and HA routers are the way to handle availability for a single location - and in that case a single IP is the way to go.

Good Morning Skunks,


Am looking into a way of weighting A records on DNS. Has anyone ever attempted this? I want it to work in a similar way as MX weighting.
