After reading this thread of mails, I thought to write few comments on DNS
GSLB and how it progressed to today in ADCs.
Is the challenge posed in DNS GSLB page of shame solved?
Read  it in http://netlb.blogspot.com

*Hi all,

I'd like to hear your input on the best way to bring a second collocation
facility online.  We are a SAAS company.  Basically, our service is all tied
to a domain name; the www record.

It was my intent to use 2 A records to the WWW lookup. Then, use GSLB to
control the traffic.

This works fine when both sites are up and running, but what happens when
one goes down - rely on the built-in failover mechanism is DNS (the second A
record)?

There's a GSLB Page of Shame http://www.tenereillo.com/GSLBPageOfShame.htm

Would love to hear your input as I am going to be bringing a second one
online.

Thanks for your time,
dane
