DNS : order of aliases


In my DNS Server database I have defined several aliases

server1 a.b.c.d
server1 w.x.y.z

When I do an nslookup server1 I get different orders in the query answer

server1:
a.b.c.d , w.x.y.z

and next time

server1:
w.x.y.z , a.b.c.d

Can I configure named in such a way that the order is always the same ??


Regards

Re: DNS : order of aliases

Hi Rainer,

You are suffering from "round-robin" syndrome!:-)

Here is the antidote -

options {
rrset-order {
order fixed;
};
};
