Hi,
I didn't mean the case of load sharing via NAT. I meant the technique of a DNS server
that operates a round-robin (or even a heuristic) to return different IP addresses
for the same FQDN, so that successive clients get different servers. This is a
pretty common hack, and another case where we are overloading DNS functionality.
