Is this how I set up Round Robin on DNS?

I have three IP Addresses that need to be alternated. I did this:

test IN A 192.168.20.1
test IN A 192.168.20.2
test IN A 192.168.20.3


?

Round robin, on windows 2000, just keep returning the same order. I
have flushed the DNS on my machine, restarted DNS on the server, etc.
Round Robind is enabled under the advanced tab.

What's going on?

Thanks.
 
Round-Robin will pick any one of the records at random. This does not mean
it will go 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3. It could mean
1,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,. You get the idea. For what you are looking to
do, you will need something other than just DNS. Something like WLB (not
recommended) or http://www.f5.com/f5products/bigip/LB520/
