I have an app hosted in a remote site and recently we configured a
local cache server for this app. We then added a DNS entry with the
same Host name but with the address of the local cache server. Hence
we have 2 entries in DNS with different addresses.

Example:
APP1 10.14.12.230 (REMOTE OFFICE)
APP1 10.14.4.230 (LOCAL CACH SERVER) - NEW ENTRY

I was hoping that clients connected to network (10.14.4.x) would
resolve APP1 to the local address first before going to the remote
address. What I am finding is that it's a crapshoot. Sometimes APP1
will resolve to local address and sometime to remote.

Is DNS smart enough to make this distinction?

Thx in advance.
