But, when multiple addresses are returned, autofs uses them as though they were multiple names and checks to see if they are up and what the response to an NULL procedure ping is so it can put them in least loaded order, assuming the servers are at the same proximity. That's the way autofs selects the machine to mount from. I don't know how you can optimize you're round robin DNS entry with this in mind.
