If your name resolver supports it then you could put options rotate into every /etc/resolv.conf (or add 'rotate' to the existing options) so that all hosts alternate which name server they query first. If that works for you at all then it should do a better job of spreading out the name service load than would tweaking the name server listing order on some of your machines. It's also a lot easier to code in your manifests. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
