@gheist - incorrect info. If a node is down, it will time out. It will only try the next IP in RR if the client re-submits the request, and it NOT looking at cache. That requires the TTLs to be set way down.
Much better to use Something like "balance" for linux, haproxy, or Zen LB (separate install, but very good and web interface).
