rrdnsd

DNS based load balancing and high availability

rrdnsd implements DNS-based load balancing and failover in order to increase the reliability of geographically-distributed Internet services. It is designed to both scale up to managing hundreds of services but also scale down to small scale deployments. Written in Rust, it prioritizes resilience, ease of deployment and hands-off maintenance - without depending on 3rd-party services. It provides distributed connectivity monitoring using a quorum protocol. This allows detecting partial network outages without causing false positive alarms.
