But 300 seems a bit low.... I'd have to do some research but it very well may be that sites set their TTL's low in an attempt to balance DNS server load with load balancing (round robin) of their web sites. It seems that the TTL for www.cnn.com is set to 150 seconds. I'd have to check.... But when you do a look up on www.cnn.com it will return 4 IP addresses. Now, since bind would have that in its cache it wouldn't have to send out a query. What I don't know is if an application would make a request would the list be returned in the same order every time to the requesting application? In other words, if the TTL is not set low, would that defeat the round robin technique. Interesting things to investigate.....if I really had the time. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
