What you need to do is defined your "proxy" name with two IP addresses - and
use a recent named server (e.g. 4.9.4).

proxy IN A 1.2.3.4
        IN A 1.2.3.6
        

named will then round-robin those addresses to any query on "proxy". This
removes any issues of you having to rely on the client having up-to-date
networking logic.

Works for us ;-)
