Round robin DNS

Friday, September 29th, 2006

Both Firefox and IE correctly handle round-robin DNS apparently.  This means if you list multiple A records and one of the machines says “Connection refused”, both will retry.

Source for Firefox.  Actually, I can’t find a source that confirms this solidly for Internet Explorer.  Dear Lazyweb…?
Anywya, Venkatesh, thanks for correcting me on this important web tech issue.
