We do something like this for some not-very-critical services. A script (happens to run on a nameserver, but that's coincidental) watchdogs a number of servers and uses (suitably secured) dynamic update to remove non-responsive ones from a low-TTL roundrobin. It knows not to remove the last entry. Sam _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
