And now that I've gotten DNS load balancing working again (with
assistance from Mike Corbett), I can see that this no longer works on
IA64 either. I suspect that the TTL was applied when the A records
were constructed on the fly and now the value is being taken from the
zone file. It had been our practice to set the TTL for these RRs to 0
to prevent caching and the associated round robin-ing (as might be
prevalent when larger terminal servers are used).Looks like this will
no longer be possible...
