What would be a better solution then?
multiple A RR's for your web service, each leading to an independent web server (which might be leased capacity rather than your own hardware), each having excellent (high bandwidth, low latency, etc) connectivity to a significant part of the internet. the law of averages is a good friend to those who can adequately provision, so the likely outcome is that you won't need anything fancy. but if you need something fancy, use session level redirects to tell a web browser or sip client that there's a better and closer place for them to get their service. pundits please note that the fancy thing i'm recommending sit perfectly on top of the non-fancy thing i'm recommending. -- Paul Vixie
