A long time ago when I worked at a large aircraft company in Seattle I
helped
develop a DNS resource balancing methodology that evaluated system load of
each
server being managed to determine that server's position in the DNS
response. In
this case it looked to see which server had the most free licenses for a
product
that runs on each server with the intent that no server run out of
licenses as
would happen with a true random system. It is a fairly trivial thing to do
and
provides true balancing via DNS. DNS savvy people can quicky replicate
this
using wget's of a sample file from each mirror, checking the transfer time
(as
does BigIP), and using dynamic DNS updates with BIND tools. While this
probably
won't keep some geeks from creating workarounds it should at least provide
the
best use of bandwidth for the rest of us.
I should add that I'd hope this or something similar would be done on the
provider end, not by everyone with too much scripting time available.
Resource management shouldn't be a client side activity.
Nice concept and a good idea, hope it's implemented.
