The DNS names I am talking about: 1.a. pkg.f.o 1.b. pkg.eu.f.o 2. Do not resolve to an A or AAAA record So what hard-coding are you talking about? You talk about how "if a node goes down we take it out of DNS" but that has absolutely nothing to do with me because I'm not putting A/AAAA-resolving names in the menu. You do realize don't you that pkg.eu.f.o is a locale-specific name that will eventually hold potentially many-more European server names, right? You do realize that the actual European server is *NOT* pkg.eu, right? You do realize that while the name pkg.f.o may wholly encompass all the mirrors, that this will not always be true, right? I have no idea what you're talking about with the updating of config files. The only reason you would ever have to update a config file is if pkg.eu.f.o went away, but ... Now I will repeat... pkg.eu.f.o is NOT A REAL SERVER It is a name, that resolves to the SRV record of the European server. That being said... that name should not go away unless we no longer have even one single server in Europe. Oh, and by the way... The name "pkg.f.o" does *NOT* resolve to "pkg.eu"... pkg.eu is a sibling name that is disassociated -- it was actually *designed* to be used for this. -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
