Re: [HELP] Prepending AS path in Multihomed setup As an entity providing a hosted service, you can not take on the responsibility of "broken" client DNS servers. As long as you are obeying the standard, it is up to them to resolve their problem.
What if the customer decided it was in their best interest to provide extended BGP dampening? If your routes flap in BGP, you get blackholed from the customer for a period of time. This is the exact same situation and you can not be responsible for a broken configuration on the client's end.
Application layer failover is not a bad thing. It is actually better for us networking types because it takes the responsibility of resiliency off our shoulders.
