Re: help with BIND SRV



Richard, 

thanks for your reply. I must have missed the section about how 'most'
software doesn't support SRV (http://dns.vanrein.org/srv/tools/).. It
seems like an incredible idea to me however, are there any alternatives
you could suggest? I'm after some kind of software load balancing /
fault tolerance.. 

thanks, 
~august
