(I think cluster aliases work this way,@ or used to.)  And that same host might have multiple names.  ForA example, because it is a flexible and adroit VMS server which has B replaced a whole bunch of single-function Windoesn't boxes :-) :-)  @ So if you ask "who is 123.123.123.123", DNS might tell you it is@ SMTP.CHOCOLATE.COM or FTP.CHOCOLATE.COM or WWW.CHOCOLATE.COM, or? WWW.CAROB.COM, or ALPHA1.CHOCOLATE.COM.  Meanwhile, it's really : a cluster, and ALPHA1.CHOCOLATE.COM is also 123.123.123.2.@ Meanwhile, ALPHA2.CHOCOLATE.COM (123.123.123.3) is also capable,> in a fail-over or load-balancing situation, of taking over all= those names and the 123.123.123.123 address.  Maybe the right > way to handle this is to say, in DNS, that SMTP.CHOCOLATE.COM,: FTP, WWW, etc. all have 2 addresses, 123.123.123.2 and .3,7 which would all translate to Alpha1 or Alpha2, and then ( backtranslate to .2 and .3 respectively.  @ I'm not sure how this works, if a host has multiple addresses onA one interface, does it respond to all of them, but and connection @ originating from the interface has the primary IP address in its< header?  Or maybe this is something you can control when you> initiate a connection, but defaults to the primary IP address.; (I've never worried about this in any of the handful of TCP 5 applications I've written, so I hope it works right!)   C ...
