See Wikipedia about the pros and cons of this setup. It will take care to sort any CNAMEs before any address records, because some stub resolver implementations (like glibc) are particular about that. Syntax loadbalance [round_robin | weighted WEIGHTFILE] { reload DURATION prefer CIDR [CIDR...] } round_robin policy randomizes the order of A, AAAA, and MX records applying a uniform probability distribution.
