Note:

• Records of the same type with the same host in the same split zone can implement round-robin DNS service.
• A and CNAME records can implement round-robin DNS service.
• If you want to use round-robin DNS CNAME, please purchase the service first. For more information, please see here.

Setting weight

Note:
A number between 0 to 100 can be assigned, and the authoritative server will return an IP node based on the weight.

2. Enter the target weight proportion between 0 and 100. For example, to make two A records have equal load, enter 50 for each. Then, click Confirm as shown below:

Node：
The round-robin DNS weight is equal load by default, that is, the authoritative server will return all record values in a random order, and the system will take the first IP address by default, so the probability of getting each record is roughly equal.
