Absolutely, but I think that's the idea :), if the DNS server basically
randoms the order of the addresses, and cURL randomly chooses the first
one and then loops with the order given by the DNS, then the load will be
well balanced. Does anyone matters if the order of the connections made by
a ONE cURL app is the same ? I don't think so, since another app will have
another order used.
