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. ---- Kind Regards, Alex Nyalita
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. -- Meet New Orleans Startups in NY: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/meet-the-new-orleans-startups-happy-hour-in-nyc-...

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" On 9 May 2014 12:44, Alex Nyalita <nyalita@gmail.com> wrote:

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"

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;) On 9 May 2014 14:21, Alex Nyalita <nyalita@gmail.com> wrote:

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.

Have you ever heard of DNS views? Well, you can use views to kind of distribute the same based on the sources, thats the closest I think you can distribute these traffic. There is no such thing as weighted A records ./Ok3ch On Fri, May 9, 2014 at 12:35 PM, Alex Nyalita <nyalita@gmail.com> wrote:

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-...

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. Alex On Fri, May 9, 2014 at 2:21 PM, Alex Nyalita <nyalita@gmail.com> wrote:
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.
