Hi all,

How do I make clients to select the closest servers when I'm using DNS AFSD=
B records?
Do I need to use "fs setserverprefs" on each client or can it be done autom=
atically?

Right now it keeps talking to a server hosted in Japan when I'm sitting in =
Sweden.

The ip address is closer bitwise to the server here in Sweden but the clien=
t ip address is lower than all the servers.

Best regards
