What do you mean by that? That it distributes DNS lookups between multiple, randomly selected servers? So if you configure 4 DNS servers then each will still get roughly 1/4th of your requests? That's still quite a lot of info. I mean, if it would distribute it to >1000 different DNS servers this might be interesting, but it doesn't really sound like it gives you much of privacy benefit IRL...
