This is often used for server pools (as I'm guessing you know). > It seems to cause problems with Windows clients and/or Windows DNS > servers. Seems like overkill. The 78 addresses listed here are all in one bit of a /24. In the cases I've seen, there are a few servers listed in several different locations, network- (and location-) wise. I agree that this looks really weird. Perhaps they use it as a cheap load balancer?
