It depends on your proxy nameserver (aka caching nameserver aka
recursive nameserver).  I.e. djbdns won't, in a stock unpatched
config, rotate through A records, deeming it an application issue.

I'm not sure about maradns which is the only other caching
implementation I know of besides BIND.  BIND definetely rotates A
records.
