When you have multiple A resource records for a particular DNS name some DNS servers return the results in a random order.
Microsoft's DNS service isn't one that randomizes the lookup results. This is something you typically see when the name server (or the caching name server) the client is pointing to is BIND on Linux/*BSD/some commercial UNIX. In the grand scheme of things it really doesn't make a difference.
