Is there another way to get the addresses of all your backends? If the DNS query only returns some of the results, gRPC won't try to query it again until some of the connections fail (or a timeout expires). You can see what backends are returned by calling the 'dig' tool on Linux a few times to see what response you get.
One alternative is to implement a custom NameResolver (not as hard as it sounds!) to issue multiple queries and aggregate the backends. That would get you more backends (making some assumptions about your setup) to pass to the load balancer.
