Round robin versus subnet prioritisation Hi, 3rd of 4 DNS questions J We’ve been discussing round robin (“RR”) vs subnet prioritisation (“SP”). Naturally, we’ll utilise RR but I’m unsure whether we need to enable SP on DNS servers, given that (I believe) XP clients have a SP feature enabled by default anyway. My questions is basically: Is SP enabled on XP clients by default? If yes, then I suspect we’ll have no need to enable SP on DNS servers too. Any offers / opinions / experiences?

I think the client resolver only uses SP if it gets given multiple A records in response to a query - and it doesn't care what flavour the DNS server is (BIND, Windows, djbDNS, etc). I could very well be wrong. -- AdamT "Waiting for paint to dry or replication to complete is never any fun.
