I understand - my point was that folks using a GSLB-type solution would generally include availability probing in the GSLB stack, so that a given instance won't be included in answers if it's locally unavailable (obviously, the GSLB can't know about all path elements between the querying resolver and the desired server/service). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobb...@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Luck is the residue of opportunity and design. -- John Milton
