Multiple CNAMEs are not supported by all DNS servers and are in fact "turned off" by default in BIND 8. Multiple CNAMEs violates DNS protocol-I took a closer look, and it seems it actually may not be violating the protocol because though Dean has specified two, the server only ever returns one in response to a single query.
That is how the load balancing works. If you look closer (at 4.9.3 anyway), it returns a different CNAME on each subsequent request. --Dean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean () av8 com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP/DCE http://www.av8.com We Make IT Fly!
