Re: Alternative to BGP-4 for multihoming?

["Peter A. van Oene" <vantech () sympatico ca>]

F5's 3DNS will accomplish the same.  The redundancy is provide via DNS as
opposed to having to worry about network advertisements via BGP4.

Essentially, the 3DNS box assumes the DNS entry for the site for which the
customer requires multihoming and it intelligently balances traffic amongst
any geographically disparate sites.  This allows for high availability.
