actually, you can do this with CNAME's even:
test IN CNAME boron
IN CNAME argon
IN CNAME hydrogen
hydrogen,ttyqh,~,514#host test
test.nike.efn.org is a nickname for hydrogen.nike.efn.org
hydrogen,ttyqh,~,515#host test
test.nike.efn.org is a nickname for boron.nike.efn.org
hydrogen,ttyqh,~,516#host test
test.nike.efn.org is a nickname for argon.nike.efn.org
so:
cvsup IN CNAME cvsup1
IN CNAME cvsup2
IN CNAME cvsup3
