Sorry, I must have misunderstood.  I caught the part about CNAMEs
but thought you were addressing A records in the second part.

In any event, I thought I'd read somewhere that multiple A records
with the same IP violated spec.  (It has been a few years since
I've read the RFCs; that was back when I was working on my now-defunct
Java resolver library.)  Perhaps that was _formerly_ the case?
