Hello Thomas,

 

You can configure the dispatcher module to skip DNS resolution at startup. Have a look to this docs section:

 

“16 (bit at index 4 - 1 <<4) - skip DNS A/AAAA resolve at startup, useful when the hostname of the destination address is a NAPTR or SRV record only. Such addresses cannot be matched anymore with ds_is_from_list(...).”

 

Cheers,

 

Henning

Subject: [SR-Users] Using DNS hostname with the Dispatcher module to determine online routes

 

Hi all,

 

I am wondering if it is possible for the dispatcher module to monitor multiple endpoints that resolve from a single hostname using DNS. Can I configure a single DNS name in the dispatcher table which resolves to 3 IP addresses and have them monitored by OPTIONS pings, and then select the first one that is marked as active to route requests to? I haven’t found much help online to know if this is possible/supported.

 

i.e. Does the dispatcher module support monitoring of multiple results returned from DNS NAPTR records?

 

Thanks,

Tom
