Load balanced?
Quote:
An alternate method of load balancing which does not necessarily require a dedicated software or hardware node, is called round robin DNS. In this technique, multiple IP addresses are associated with a single domain name (i.e. www.example.org); clients themselves are expected to choose which server to connect. Unlike the use of a dedicated load balancer, this technique is not "transparent" to clients, because it exposes the existence of multiple backend servers. The technique has other advantages and disadvantages, depending on the degree of control over the DNS server and the granularity of load balancing which is desired.

Re: Can't get on to the BBC website

Well I reckon the BBC website is probably one of the most visited sites in the world and has a huge data base..it's bound to break sometime.

Hubby says he can't get to the BBCi on the TV either.
