IDEA: How to change the mesh without changing config files.

> My idea is to register the same DNS name with as many IP addresses as i
have 'servers' and may be some 'clients' with public IPs. The point is,
a single DNS name will have all servers behind it, so the benefits are:

You even need extra hosts files for every server, so why make it
complicated? Other idea:
Create 3 internet tinc server names in dns and 3 host files.
Use as much, as you have servers, maybe only 2. Point other dns entrie to
unresolvable IP until you have a server.
Create 3 connectto entries for every server/dns on every client tinc.conf.
As long as one server is available your network will work. tinc does the
rest for you. Only bad thing is, your logfile will show connect messages
to servers which are not available. Ignore them :-)
