Yes indeed, it is using a "load balancer"[1]. The old code was a several years old quick hack on ancient ancient code. I re-implemented it this sunday and got rid of the AAAA -> nxdomain bug. There's still a nameserver running with the old code. If the new code doesn't exhibit any problems in the next day or two I'll upgrade the last old one too. The new code is running on ns2.geo.bitnames.com if you want to look the responses over. dig ftp.cpan.ddns.develooper.com @ns2.geo.bitnames.com dig -t aaaa ftp.cpan.ddns.develooper.com @ns2.geo.bitnames.com (thanks to Dave Hart, Mark Andrews and Vivek Khera for making me aware of this thread). - ask [1] it returns a mirror in your country if available. -- http://www.askbjoernhansen.com/
