When we using multiple ip for resoving a specific domain-name, which answer given by the forwarders should be picked up by PowerDNS Recursor and then return it to user's client program?<br>

</span>It’s best to assume the process is random. For any given query, the resulting data can come from any of the IPs, and there is no guarantee from which one. So, in general, make sure your backend IPs agree on the data!<br>
