Actually, your DNS server will answer with all the IPs, but in different orders:
IE, response 1:
 10.0.0.1
 10.0.0.2
 10.0.0.3
 10.0.0.4
 10.0.0.5

response 2:
 10.0.0.2
 10.0.0.3
 10.0.0.4
 10.0.0.5
 10.0.0.1

response 3:
 10.0.0.3
 10.0.0.4
 10.0.0.5
 10.0.0.1
 10.0.0.2

and so on.
The IP of the server won't change as long as its current IP belongs to the list.

If you think your DNS server has a different behavior, please let me
know which one you're using and how it is configured, so I can give it
a try.
