Standard in bind since early -90's

This has no place in the GUI, it's an issue about how the last
nameserver ( closest to the client) handles RR sets.

Add 2 records for the resource, with different ip addresses. The rest
is automatically done by bind.
Now, you might have an old clone of bind supplied by qip,
using a caching-only nameserver "to be used by the clients" will
cure this.
Spreading caching-only servers is a good idea anyway, shortens delays and
spreads loading.

Sorry about my e-mail address, but i'm trying to keep spam out.
Remove "icke-reklam" and it works.
