I have configured a hostname with multiple A records to ensure DNS failover.

Records have been assigned and propagated to slave servers @ Linode, but MIAB’s System Status Checks throw errors:

“✖ Secondary nameserver [ns1.linode.com](http://ns1.linode.com) is not configured correctly. (It resolved this domain as x.x.x.x; y.y.y.y. It should be x.x.x.x.)”

Any way to fix it?
