Depends on your definition of "caching resolver", and your definition of 
"round-robin". BIND is, after all, capable of functioning as a caching 
resolver, and when doing so, gives out multiple-A-record answers in 
different sequences, although most versions in use today just randomize 
the sequence, or the starting point of the sequence, which most folks 
would call "round-robin" (as opposed to fixed) even though technically 
it isn't "round-robin"...
