DNS weirdness from wordpress.org?

    I was trying to figure out why Akismet, RSS feed from WordPress.org on my dashboard, updates, and other things stopped working, and came across this while trying to debug:

    Digging against wordpress’ own name servers:

    ——————————
    $ dig @ns1.mobiusltd.com wordpress.org

    ; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-20.P1.el5 <<>> @ns1.mobiusltd.com wordpress.org
    ; (1 server found)
    ;; global options: printcmd
    ;; Got answer:
    ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 55893
    ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2

    ;; QUESTION SECTION:
    ;wordpress.org. IN A

    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    wordpress.org. 300 IN A 72.233.56.139
    wordpress.org. 300 IN A 72.233.56.138
    ——————————

    Two A recs, with different IP addresses, to the same hostname? I didn’t think you could do that? The other way around, sure, but …

    At any rate, still debugging, but thought I would toss this out here for discussion. I’m not a DNS expert, but that just looks weird to me.

    Cheers.
