it would return multiple values:
But woudn't that just be different addresses handed out to separate requests? So, one person would get .66 and the next .67.
Actually, everyone gets both; the device picks which one to use, which is what allows it to randomly balance or fail over to the other address if the one it picks isn't responding. (Mind you, it's not perfect, since a 404 or 500 error is still "responding," which is why a real load balancer is better.) If you want to give it a shot, do an nslookup for that host address (wacluster.millikin.edu) and it should give you both addresses. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
