Azure DNS A record value with multiple ip addresses option

Why would you have 2 ip address values for an A record in Azure DNS for one website?

Hi,

look up round-robin DNS online. It is a cheap method for load balancing.

For example, you got 2 IP addresses for website "test.com". When you try to access it, it will return IP1, and when I try to access it, it will return IP2.

There are some interesting information in this post also. Feel free to take a look, maybe you'll find it useful:

Hopefully I cleared it out a bit for you.

Kind regards,
