Round robin DNS = Having multiple ip addresses (A records) for the
same hostname.

I.E.

lame:~> host www.msn.com
www.msn.com             A       207.46.179.143
www.msn.com             A       207.46.185.138
www.msn.com             A       207.46.185.140
www.msn.com             A       207.46.209.218
www.msn.com             A       207.46.176.120
www.msn.com             A       207.46.176.121
www.msn.com             A       207.46.179.134
