I patched my setup on 216.218.240.207
try: dig @216.218.240.207 www.everydns.net A
(Wait about 20 seconds before trying again since the cache doesn't rotate
results)

I did this change in the backends (gmysql and gpgsql) but that's the wrong
place because the cache hands out weighted results for every $cache-timeout.

I might send a patch in later today that munges the results in the correct
place (not the backend).

Thanks,
davidu
