Hello

below behavior where you see different servers are answering is due to the way 
some of the nodes we have setup.

If a single L-root physical location has more than one server providing l-root 
service we enable per-packet-load-balance and multipath (where possible) to 
balance the load between servers. Hence you see such behavior on the LAX node 
you are connecting to.
