Thank you both for your replies. I've considered setting up a round-robin pool, but the host caching is the part i don't like. It seems like whatever i set the TTL to, windows 2000 cache's the address untill the next time i manually flush the dns cache. Surprisingly, Mac OSX (unix based) cache's DNS as well, which bum's me out.
