-bash-3.2$ host xrootd-cms.infn.it

xrootd-cms.infn.it has address 90.147.66.75

xrootd-cms.infn.it has address 193.205.76.83

I was playing with some crash tests, and I do not get the result.

So: I switched off the redirector 193.205.76.83, while keeping it into the alias, and I issued a 

xrdcp -d 10 root://xrootd-cms.infn.it//store/data/Run2013A/MinimumBias/RECO/PromptReco-v1/000/212/188/00000/6C246B92-C67B-E211-BE02-003048D2BC62.root .

I was assuming that the client would have recognized the alias, and eventually tried a second host if the first was not available.

In the log ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/zmp9uyreqm4qwhg/xrootd.log )

I see eventually the client recognizes the situation:

but then 

so no attempt is done on the other. What is wrong here? all in all it tries 8 times to connect to the SAME server, and 0 times to the other ...

thanks a lot
