Multiple masters expected behavior?

[Peter Laws]

I have multiple interfaces on my master and multiple interfaces on most of 
my slaves.

I've got one of the slaves set up so that its masters {}; statement has two 
of the master's interfaces in it.  The preferred is first, with the 
non-preferred second.  I was contemplating using this on all slaves to 
guard against a network path failure.

Note that I also have both of the slave's interfaces in the also-notify 
statement on the master (it's an unpublished slave).

I would have thought that BIND would always hit the first and never the 
second.  That doesn't seem to be the case however.  In fact, in a few cases 
I've seen it seems to use both, though not round-robinning that I can see 
from the logs.

Is that expected behavior?


BIND 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2
