There's no good solution for this yet. The best you can do right now is to use
the rrset-order option on the master and all of the slaves, and lower the
TTL's on the records to partially defeat the effects of caching (but this
comes at the cost of increasing query traffic).

I'm experimenting with a better solution to this problem.
