Of course, just so people looking through the archives see it, the BIND
folks as ISC specifically discourage the use of round-robin DNS as a 
load-balancing technique in their FAQ due to the unpredictable nature of
the CLIENT side's use of the multiple responses send from the servers,
since there is no RFC covering what the client should DO with the
replies.
