Sorry to re-send, but I lost some mail and thought perhaps this was
answered and I missed it, but looking at the archives I don't see any
replies.
Thanks!

I have a quick question about how programs linked against the mysql C
libraries handle the following:
-assume three mysql hosts, say 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3, and 10.0.0.4
-assume a dns name "db.example.com" that returns the following:
bob@xena[~]$ host db.example.com
db.example.com has address 10.0.0.2
db.example.com has address 10.0.0.3
db.example.com has address 10.0.0.4
If my client program repeatedly connects to "db.example.com" and my
nameserver round-robins through those IPs, will the client also keep
cycling through those? What is the behaviour if one of those hosts does
not respond? Will the client application then try the next one?
Thanks,
Charles
