With stock DNS, no; all you can do is recommend by ordering the responses. But there are solutions. There are load-balancing DNS servers (they have a pool of responses, and hand out an answer of that pool, based on rules, and can even remove an answer from the pool if a watchdog/monitor fails). F5 GTM and Cisco GSS are examples, but you need to talk with the vendor or a VAR to help you to understand some of the nuances and complexities of doing this way.
