I always thought that the mapping of IP-addresses to names has to be unique. How is the SETI-setup 208.68.240.13 boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu 208.68.240.18 boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu (according to nslookup) then working? Is there an understandable explanation for a non IP-expert like me? Thanks in advance Mad Fritz Edit: Wiki is your friend... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_DNS |

.13 and .18 are a "shared" service...the download servers. Common industry practice for them to have the same name. Lt |

edit: you found it (why can't I delete my message?) Posts can't be deleted - but you can use the red-x button at the bottom of your post to flag it for a moderator and ask for it to be hidden. Or you can edit to 'please delete' or suchlike and any mod through will take care of it. It's better to use the red-x though. |
