Hi all.
I have 2 dsl connections with dynamic ip addresses which have ports 25 and 110 forwarded to the same host. I want to balance the load between the two dsl Internet connections by doing this: pop.mydomain.com. 300 IN CNAME dsl1.gotdns.com. IN CNAME dsl2.gotdns.com. But, the gotdns.com domain is not managed or hosted by me. What it is is a free service (by dynip.org) where I have registered and that will update the ip address of either of the dsl connections in case my ISP changes it. Is it possible to do this? I tried and my dns will only resolve for pop.mydomain.com with the last CNAME in the list. Is there any way to do this and if so what am I doing wrong? When I use ip addresses (A type records) it works very nice. Finally, my named server is running on a Linux host and while I haven't yet figured out how to know the bind version, the man pages displays "4th Berkeley Distribution" Any help will be appreciated. |
