DNS Round Robin Configuration using Rsync over SSH

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

The goal is to add the HostGator server to be an exact mirror of the z.askapache.com domain, then to add that server as a 2nd A record to my DNS zone. That way half the visitors to the size will be taking up resources and bandwidth on the HostGator server instead of mine.

Round Robin A records in DNS are intended to evenly distribute queries between each host of the same name. Using some tricks straight out of a hackers toolbox we can verify if the distribution is taking place. (It is.)
