Priority: Lower priority records take precedence over higher priority records.
Weight: Weight is used when more than one service of the same priority is defined. Hosts with a greater weight will be chosen more often for a given priority than hosts with a lesser one. A weight of 2 will be serviced twice as often as a weight of 1 for records with matching priority. |
