MaraDNS has support this since MaraDNS 1.2 e.g. ipv4_bind_addresses =
"10.1.2.3, 10.9.8.7"

The names of zones are hashed and then pulled out of the hash in the
order they are in the hash.  In other words, they are pulled out of
the zones in a semi-random fashion.  Doesn't make a real-world
difference with zone file processing.

It's the name reason awk
'BEGIN{a["hello"]="foo";a["world"]="bar";a["foo"]="hello";for(b in
a){print b}}' prints out the elements in a semi-random order.
