Take the following internal round robin dns setup
mymta.com. IN A 172.31.1.1
mymta.com. IN A 172.31.1.2
mymta.com. IN A 172.31.1.3
mymta.com. IN A 172.31.1.4
mymta.com. IN A 172.31.1.5
mymta.com. IN A 172.31.1.6
mymta.com. IN A 172.31.1.7
mymta.com. IN A 172.31.1.8
mymta.com. IN A 172.31.1.9
mymta.com. IN A 172.31.1.10
Now assume the following postfix setup (assume these are the only tweaks from defaults in debian package)
main.cf:
smtp_connection_cache_destinations = mymta.com
smtp_connection_cache_reuse_limit = 750
smtp_destination_concurrency_limit = 75
transport
* :[mymta.com]
I would expect 75 concurrent connections spread across the 10 A records I've set in DNS. However I'm seeing more than a few hundred connections to mymta.com and I'm wondering if Postfix is "smart" enough to set up 75 concurrent connections for each IP address.
Thoughts?
