I’m using the OOTB DNS service, but need to create an A record with multiple values for load balancing. Neither the web interface, nor the API seem to support setting a single A record to resolve to multiple IP addresses.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or should this be considered an improvement? I’d really rather not use a third-party system.

The API should support this if you use POST (vs PUT) and call the API once per IP address. If it’s not working we’ll fix it.
