Or Is it that I am doing wrong tests to test whether it is working
properly.

I do an nslookup and get the following response.

[root at rhas3 named]# nslookup hp110
Server:  rhsa3.test.com
Address:  172.22.45.57

Name:    hp110.test.com
Addresses:  127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.3, 127.0.0.4, 127.0.0.5

[root at rhas3 named]# nslookup hp110
Server:  rhsa3.test.com
Address:  172.22.45.57

Name:    hp110.test.com
Addresses:  127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.3, 127.0.0.4, 127.0.0.5

[root at rhas3 named]# nslookup hp110
Server:  rhsa3.test.com
Address:  172.22.45.57

Name:    hp110.test.com
Addresses:  127.0.0.5, 127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.3, 127.0.0.4


I expected the order should be 2,3,4,5 & then 3,4,5,2 then 4,5,2,3.
and I am getting a different. Also a ping to hp110 also looks like
returning a random order not a cyclic order.

Regards,
