Dear friends,

I try to review google.com networks services. And I have some question need to understand.
I do a ping to google.com from my computer, and it give replying IP with i.e 64.233.181.105.
And then I stop it. And I try again, but it give a different result IP. i.e 64.233.181.147.
Again, I try to ping from another computer but different ISP, and it give a different result IP again. i.e 64.233.181.104.
My Questions is, what kind technical way they do ? As I know, it is like they do a load balancing for IP services. Would you want, explained how they do this technical way? Because I want to try to prepare the services like google.com do. What an application can i used to be able like this ?
Thank you very much, for sharing your experienced with me.

Regards,

Teddy.

you want to research round robin dns

you can also see the output with
dig www.google.com
and see all the ips resolving to this domain name

Oh ya, Thanks marafa..
But, I try again in a different ISP and using a dig to google.com. but it give a different result. Before is, it shown 5 IP Public i.e ;64.233.181.105, 64.233.181.99, 64.233.181.147, 64.233.181.104, 64.233.181.103, 64.233.181.106.
But in another ISP it's only shown 1 IP Public. i.e; 72.14.254.104.
Why it can be like that ? I think, event if we used a different ISP it should be the same result, right ? Because it put in 1 domain, google.com. Please, i'm still don't getting clear here.
