E Lee - it has nothing to do with load. It does redirect requests to the IP's specified... but that does not take load into account at all. If one server/IP goes down, you lose traffic. Proper load balancing is more intelligent then that.
I have nothing against round robin dns setup's - I have a few clients setup on them - but they are not a real load balancing solution.
Perhaps more a technical detail then anything. "Considering the functionality, the round robin DNS is not a load balancing mechanism but a load distribution option. " Ahhh, that's the wording I was looking for
