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 Note that I also have both of the slave's interfaces in the also-notify statement on the master (it's an unpublished slave).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.
I believe like all DNS servers, bind will pick the quickest-responding one (with the highest SOA serial, of course). It will certainly send SOA queries to both in case one master has a higher serial than the other.
