and if one of the servers fail then 1 out every N dns requests fail to
find the host b/c the resolving host is down.


oh - but you say - have the dns tables get updated so if a host goes
down it gets taken out of the search? That's why dns caching (yes,
despite TTLs) sucks.

b/c a lot of people will bitch and moan, nevertheless.

and if you think the above can't happen you're wrong. :)
