Hello - 

I would like to accomplish the following.

I want to round robin DNS two servers.  I want 1 out of 20 requests
to go to IP 10.0.0.1 .  The other 19 should be directed to server
10.0.0.2.

I have multiple A records:

roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.1
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2
roundrobin        5       IN      A       10.0.0.2

in the appropriate zone file.  But, I don't seem to get a heavily
weighted response.  Name service caching is disabled on the server
querying the Name Server.

Is there a way to accomplish this sort of weighting?

Thanks.
