i don't know if it does, but it should.
all clients should try every address given in
gethostbyname()->h_addr_list[]
with Posix1.g (non IPv4-specific stuff) it gets even more interesting,
since the list returned from getaddrinfo() may also contain IPv6
addresses, etc.
if you're using a web proxy, its probably the proxy's job to try them
all.
