load balancing problems in DNS

I am running bind 9.2.1-9 under RedHat 8.0 and have
recently setup a slave DNS with 4 nic cards. I have 2
subnets which I have 2 cards in each and the dns entry for
this box is in round robin fashion. I have encountered a
problem in that the arp table on my router is having the
mac address from 1 nic on the subnet being overwritten by
the other.

Is it best just to reduce to 1 nic in each subnet or am I
missing a configuration setup? I selected the round robin
to provide DNS load balancing. Is there a better way of
accomplishing this?
