I want a special kind of DNS.

1, Resolve a domain name to different kinds of IP address according to
requesting client IP address.
That means I can give a list on how to resolve the domain name based on
the requester's IP address.

2, Resovle a domain name to serveral IP address in sequence. This way I
can balance the load to different servers.

Any help???

Thank.

This can't be done easily with BIND 8 or earlier. However there is support
for 'views' (which is - as you describe - an option to serve different
clients differently) in BIND 9. However it is slightly incomplete yet.

That is pretty easy. You just include several A records. Bind will rotate
them for you, so you will get the number of requests balanced between the
servers:

www.example.com. IN A 10.1.2.1
www.example.com. IN A 10.1.2.2
www.example.com. IN A 10.1.2.3

1) I'm not sure

2) That is easy, no special configs needed try something like

in your domain.com file

server1 in a 10.0.0.5
in a 10.0.0.15
