But the weight on MX records is not really based on server load.
Mail will go to the next server if the first is not available.

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"

He he he, interesting comments.

My mail is very clear, I want to achieve a similar weighting as MX but on A records on DNS (Weighted Load balancing on DNS)  . I did not specify Bind as the server to use. So my options are open.

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.
