How to setup a round robin DNS entry
Posted by admin on 11 September 2009 09:33 PM
This is very very easy. In your host file you will simple put:

www IN A 66.66.66.66
IN A 66.66.66.67
IN A 66.66.66.68

Each time DNS is pulled from www.domain.com it will rotate what it resolves to. First time it will be 66.66.66.66 and the second time it will be 66.66.66.67 etc.. The above entry is if you have a $ORIGIN domain.com at the top of the list of A records ETC. If you don't it will look like this:

www.domain.com. IN A 66.66.66.66
IN A 66.66.66.67
IN A 66.66.66.68

Either way it is VERY easy to do and a good way of loadbalancing if you don't have a load balancer
