# How do I make DNS rotate through the available addresses for a 
service, say www.busy.site to obtain a load balancing effect, or similar?

Make several A records for www.busy.site and use BIND 4.9.3 or later. 
Then BIND will round-robin the answers. It will not work with earlier 
versions of BIND.
