This is slightly premature, but I wanted to update the loadbalance doc and push that out. We'll probably release 1.2.0 soon as well. Signed-off-by: Miek Gieben <miek@miek.nl>

Description
The loadbalance will act as a round-robin DNS loadbalancer by randomizing the order of A and AAAA records in the answer.
See Wikipedia about the pros and cons on this setup. It will take care to sort any CNAMEs before any address records, because some stub resolver implementations (like glibc) are particular about that.
Syntax
