How would I set up a round robin DNS A record so e.g. roundrobin.domain.com would randomly send you to one of:
1.1.1.1
1.1.1.2
1.1.1.3
1.1.1.4
and so on?

Hello,

The way the A records are indexed in DA means that you can only have 1 A record per name. Although this should be changed, if you need more, you'd need to set it up manually through the /var/named/domain.com.db file and make sure not to do anything that would rewrite the file.

so I would just add more A record lines in the config file?
