Miek Gieben 94c59da577 Run tests in parallel (#478 ) Create a small speedup running the tests: PASS ok github.com/miekg/coredns/test 10.329s PASS ok github.com/miekg/coredns/test 6.079s Skip the etcd ones. Doing the middleware//_test ones doesn't yield any speedup as these are still done on a per directory basis.		2017-01-12 08:13:50 +00:00

README.md

loadbalance

loadbalance acts as a round-robin DNS loadbalancer by randomizing the order of A and AAAA records in the answer. See Wikipedia about the pros and cons on this setup.

It will take care to sort any CNAMEs before any address records, because some stub resolver implementations (like glibc) are particular about that.

Syntax

loadbalance [POLICY]

POLICY is how to balance, the default is "round_robin"

Examples

loadbalance round_robin
