I looked into round robin dns recently (for performance reasons, not for reliability), but decided not to go there just yet.
I'm curious - I keep hearing that some clients don't support this. Which clients are that in particular? Is it a real issue, or a rather esoteric case?
- aphyr 15y agoHonestly I never found a briowser that didn't support multiple a record failover. Older versions of ie mostly. You do need to be aware that many nameservers will reorder a records by integer sort or delta to their own IP, which can make your traffic pattern uneven. There are various managed DNS products to handle that, and you can build it yourself with enough time.
- troels 15y agoThanks - That was my suspicion.
