thanks for your feedback Ed.

 

Would it be possible to do this by source mac address? Clients connecting from that subnet are constantly changing ip addresses (dhcp clients with short lease times).

 

The clients are ok to re-balance to new DNS server after 1 hour.

    In your example, if you set the subnet mask in the persistence profile to be 255.255.0.0 then everyone in 10.3.x.x would get the same server

    that's what i want to avoid. The example/diagram shows desired configuration, where each client connecting from same subnet will be redirected to different DNS server and stick with it for at least 1 hour.
