For what it's worth, Knot DNS is fixed by default. I know because the first setting in my knot.conf file is "answer-rotation: on". :-) NSD also has a "round-robin" setting, which is also off by default. So other nameservers do support fixed order, but I personally don't use it and don't mind if you remove it. > Thanks, > Ondřej -- Matt Nordhoff -- Visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
