Recent BIND's will round-robin multiple A records; you should get them from the name server in a pseudo-random order. Try "dig @uucp-gw-1.pa.dec.com a tbfddi1.gw.psu.edu | head -15" several times in a row, you will get different answers. (Of course, if you ask your local caching server, then you will keep getting the same answers -- but we are talking about widely seperated people doing their own individual queries, and everyone is not likely to be talking to the same caching server.)
