Duplicate RRs are suppressed, as per the standards.

RFC 2181, Section 5:

Each DNS Resource Record (RR) has a label, class, type, and data.  It
   is meaningless for two records to ever have label, class, type and
   data all equal - servers should suppress such duplicates if
   encountered


That being said, a DNS-based load-balancer can probably do what you're
looking for.

Bind9 weighted load balancing

2021-04-30 Thread Alperen Yılmaz
Hello everyone,

There is a round robin resolving mechanism in bind9 where the server
chooses different records to resolve for each request, but is there a way
to assign weights so that the server resolves with different probabilities?

All I could find about the topic was this old mail from the archive:
https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2007-April/066194.html
It says you can put duplicate records for increasing the weight, however it
also says that bind9 does not seem to support this.

IN A 1.2.3.5


Thank you,
