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.)
