We use this extensively as part of our wide area application level failover product. If you can't tell the DNS server the new service location, it's pretty hard to get requesters to redirects their requests to the healthy server. We could do this with a scripted hack involving ssh, but I prefer to do this through the documented (and IETF standardized) protocol that BIND supports. In short, this is important to us, not important to DJB, and he isn't interested in contributions, so we use BIND. I'm sure you will find a lot of people who can quote you variations on this theme. -- Jack Rusher, Senior Engineer | mailto:jar@integratus.com Integratus, Inc. | http://www.integratus.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
