Some browsers are, but I don't believe the Windows IP stack is comfortable
with multiple addresses coming back from a DNS request, and discards the extra

I could be very wrong here. I was told this at one point, from someone who I
have reason to believe should know. If this is definitely _not_ the case, let
me know.
