For example, it also criticizes badly the use of DNS for load balancing on the grounds of "DNS was not designed to express policy". And what happens when a single machine is not enough to accomodate load? Do you employ NAT load balancers? Is this a better idea? Having a single "name" for a "service" seems to me like a good idea in general. Anyway, long talk, I guess it needs a thread of its own. Thanks again, Kostas PS1: Jim, you should REALLY reconsider your mail blacklist policies. Unless you do not prefer mail for person-to-person communication ;-) PS2: +1 against ISC for allowing the "feature" in bind. -- Kostas Zorbadelos twitter:@kzorbadelos http://gr.linkedin.com/in/kzorba ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- () www.asciiribbon.org - against HTML e-mail & proprietary attachments /\
